established on 12th November 1980.
The area of the gulf of Thailand in which the islands are siblated is at maximum
10 meters deep. The island rise up out of the water. And are thus surrounded by
water which is relatively shallow. This mean that the water is greatly
influenced by turbid river water from the mainland, the river water does not
encounter deep water which will reduce its velocity and thus allow carried
sediment to settle out The water around the Island is thus fairly turbid all
year round. The coral development on the island is not extensive and is
restricted to a narrow band encircling each island close to the shore,
especially on the Southwest sides. Although the Northwestern side of the island
the area most influenced by the monsoon, in the sheltered spots good coral
develop especially elephant thus coral, brain coral, stags horn coral, and in
deeper water plate corals of the genus Panova and flower corals of the genus
Goniopora. Animals found
inhabiung these reefs include Butterfly fish, Angel fish, Parrot fish, Sungray,
Black up shark, Grouper and cowries shells
