The aim of seawater irrigation system (SIS) is to clean up shrimp pond effluent and provide high quality seawater for shrimp farming. The system has three components: water intake, treatment reservoir and discharge system. There are criteria for site selection because shrimp farmers are required to form associations so they can work closely together. The construction site must be on the coastal area outside a mangrove forest. The site must be located away from a productive agricultural area. All construction sites must have undergone an environmental impact assessment (EIA), and should be located on the area listed in Thailand’s Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP). Five SIS projects were completed and operated. These covered a culture area of 6,500 ha and 1,300 farmers (families). Department of Fisheries (DOF) has planned for another 28 projects. It will cover almost 44,000 ha of culture area.
