From a segregated sustainable operation in the beginning stage that only focused on one operational area at one time, nowadays, Chulalongkorn University lays emphasis on an integrated sustainable operation concept which is not solely limited to energy and environment, but also to the understanding of interconnections between society, technology, culture, and the viability of future campus development. In 2014, many sustainable projects and programs were initiated.

Biodiversity Data Journal 2: e1019. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.2.e1019 Abstract The flora of Tropical Asia is among the richest in the world, yet the actual diversity is estimated to be much higher than previously reported. Myanmar and Thailand are adjacent countries that together occupy more than the half the area of continental Tropical Asia. This geographic area is diverse ecologically, ranging from cool-temperate to tropical climates, and includes from coast, rainforests and high mountain elevations. An updated checklist of aquatic plants, which includes 78 species in 44 genera from 24 families, are presented based on floristic works. This number includes seven species, that have never been listed in the previous floras and checklists. The species (excluding non-indigenous taxa) were categorized by five geographic groups with the exception of to reflect the rich diversity of the countries' floras.

This study was performed by considering 3 major different seasons representing the season of before S/W monsoon, during S/W monsoon and after N/E monsoon, by surveying and collecting information in March 2007, July 2007 and February 2008, respectively. The results revealed that a total of 7 species in 4 genera 2 families of seagrass had been found from the intertidal zone to 16.7 meters in depth in which Halophila decipiens Ostenfeld (Hd) was the deepest habitat seagrass species. The variety, distribution and percentage coverage of seagrass had been changed by seasonal variation especially after the S/W monsoon period presenting the largest size of seagrass, high density and wide spread of seagrass.
