“Nowadays
with the number of increasing population, people need more food and
the constant search for more resources will cause food shortages n the
future.
Each day the fishermen catch sea crabs and some of the females have up to 800,000 eggs with them. Only twice a year the crabs can have eggs, this loss of eggs greatly affects the number of sea crabs and environment.
We have to help
the little crabs to survive by increasing the number of female crabs.
By donating 25 Baht per crab or a hundred Baht per kilogram to the fishermen
we can keep the female crabs in buoyed nets so they can release their
eggs back into the sea. In this way we can save the natural environment
and save a human food resource.”
