Abstract

Phra Thong (PT) is one of three relatively large islands located just off the coast of Phang Nga province on the south west coast of Thailand (Fig 1). Fine sandy beaches (total length 15 km) are situated on the west coast, whereas the east coast is covered with mangrove forest. Three fishing villages are located on the island along with a few tourist resorts. Phra Thong was chosen as a focal point for conservation activities because of its central location along the coast of the Andaman Sea and for its importance as a sea turtle nesting site.
