Their numbers have been halved over the last 75 years, according to the assessment, as the giant continued to be both fished and accidentally killed by ship propellers. CP Foods will also provide a business opportunity for SME franchises like FiveStar and STAR Coffee, which need a small budget and small space to kick off. A man working as a food delivery driver in the southern province of Songkhla, has been filmed riding his motorbike totally naked. Thailand's fastest growing portal for news and information, in association with The Nation. He pointed out that fishery regulation has been improved and that’s the reason why the trawler was seized following the alert from a satellite-based Port in-Port out reporting. The absence of many species and changes in life-stage composition, they pointed out, suggested that the populations of these groups might be “close to collapse”.

By their new estimate of historic abundance, though, he added: "We wouldn't be able to start whaling North Atlantic fin or humpback whales for another 70 to 100 years. Because of their special size and rarity, these animals have become a new tourist attraction, which help contribute to local economies, and that’s the reasons why the creatures are important both ecologically and economically.”. It took a while before the crew of the trawler untied the whale shark from the reel. At the time there was no reason given for the high-profile head of Thailand’s Immigration to be ‘side-lined’ to desk duties at the PM’s office. These species have been variously classified as vulnerable, endangered, or even critically endangered, including Whale Sharks. The latest research – a collaboration between Thai researcher Sirichai Arunrugstichai of the Prince of Songkla University’s Department of Biology and his fellows – confirmed the trend was happening in Thai waters. Threats The IUCN Red List assessment found that growing human pressures were contributing to the threats putting whale sharks at an increasing risk of extinction, along with some few other newly assessed animals. A graph of estimated North Atlantic right whale populations from 1990 to 2017. According to one of the divers who decided to post the story on Facebook, and which was later circulated widely, the diving-boat captain noticed that the trawler leaned to one side. Once in a while, the three-metre-long whale shark jerked, prompting its tail to sway, suggesting that it was still alive. Thon wants to see them included as a preserved species after the Cabinet endorsed the proposal two years ago. Their genetic results indicate that two major subpopulations exist, in the Atlantic Ocean and Indo-Pacific, respectively. Your email address will not be published. Or catch up on your Thailand news. It was last Friday (May 18) when a group of divers encountered a trawler near Racha Yai island off the Phuket coast. It got stuck on one side of the trawler before being pushed out to the water. The tragic event reflected the threats to the whale shark’s population at large as the world’s oceans become increasingly hostile waters for vulnerable species. Surachet was dumped and sidelined… the purchases went ahead. 2 new holiday weekends have been created, one in November, one in December.

He says it’s an “engine for economic revival.”. There’s also a discount coupon giveaway from CP Foods and the minister says it will help reduce cost of living for people who are eligible for social security benefits. The Science paper concludes that scientists underestimated by a factor of ten the number of great whales that once swam in the North Atlantic before they were hunted by man. The dark blue line represents scientists’ best estimate for the population number, where the light blue area represents the range of uncertainty. Thon agrees that by-catching still poses a critical threat to the species. They also detected shifts in the population composition compared to a previous study in 2004. The researchers looked through the by-catches (those species caught inadvertently) by fishermen at several main ports over a year, and discovered a sharp decline in the shark population. According to the IUCN, one-fourth of the shark species on record worldwide – nearly 300 of 1,041 species – are threatened with extinction. Using these results, Prof Palumbi estimated that the worldwide humpback population could have been as high as 1.5 million, so that today's population represents less than 10 per cent of that. It still breathed too,” shouted a woman on a diving boat motoring next to the trawler. A petition is being passed around calling on the government to stop arresting and fining sex workers. Whale sharks, here and in international water, have shared a similar fate as they faced threats that are pushing the entire family of sharks to the verge of extinction, with a sharp decline in population observed while their reproduction rate is too low to replenish the stock. Still the underground industry is estimated to be worth US$6.4 billion a year. This post Covid-19 collaboration will create stability for people at all levels and build more small and medium sized enterprise, or SME, owners that are the foundation of Thai economy. More than 100,000 people back the proposed changes. Thai sex workers push for prostitution decriminalisation. That tells us that, sometime in the past, the population of humpbacks was pretty big - and in fact our calculation for the North Atlantic suggests that the historic size of that population was about 240,000 animals.''. The species is increasing in abundance in much of its range, but faces threats from entanglement in fishing gear, vessel strikes, vessel-based harassment, underwater noise, and habitat impacts. Pro-democracy activists have been demanding a rewrite of the Thai constitution at protests over the past few months. The world's whale population is a tiny fraction of what it once was, according to a study that shows scientists have wildly underestimated their original numbers. In both cases the extended weekends will be 4 days each, adding the Thursdays and Fridays before the weekend. It is estimated that the total population of the North Atlantic is between 600 and 1500 individuals. But the new estimate is about 360,000. The world's whale population is a tiny fraction of what it once was, according to a study that shows scientists have wildly underestimated their original numbers.
