Authorities on Koh Samui have removed 20 tons of marine waste over a two-day operation, with efforts continuing to clear the remaining five tons.
According to a report by Matichon Online, local authorities on the popular tourist island of Koh Samui have successfully collected 20 tons of marine debris during a recent two-day cleanup campaign. The initiative was launched to address the accumulation of waste along the island's coastline, which is a significant concern for both the local environment and the tourism sector.
