  • Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2002
    Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2002 Edited by Clive Wilkinson PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor Dedication This book is dedicated to all those people who are working to conserve the coral reefs of the world – we thank them for their efforts. It is also dedicated to the International Coral Reef Initiative and partners, one of which is the Government of the United States of America operating through the US Coral Reef Task Force. Of particular mention is the support to the GCRMN from the US Department of State and the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. I wish to make a special dedication to Robert (Bob) E. Johannes (1936-2002) who has spent over 40 years working on coral reefs, especially linking the scientists who research and monitor reefs with the millions of people who live on and beside these resources and often depend for their lives from them. Bob had a rare gift of understanding both sides and advocated a partnership of traditional and modern management for reef conservation. We will miss you Bob!

  • Phuket Island Has Been Blessed with Beautiful Islands and Bays Around
    Phuket Island has been blessed with beautiful Islands and Bays around its coastline and one of the greatest experiences here is to cruise, snorkel and lunch in the calm-water bays and magnificent small Islands close by. Trisara Cruises offers a wide range of boating excursions, the most popular of which is the half or full day cruise to explore the stunning Phang Nga Bay (James Bond Island), and the Islands of Krabi We work in partnership with the most professional charter companies on Phuket to select the newest and most comprehensive fleet of vessels available. Whether you choose a one-hour snorkel out to the small Island directly in front of Trisara, a half day cruise to Phang Nga Bay or a full day trip to the incredible Similan Islands on one of our luxury cruisers, we urge you to experience boating at least once during your stay with us. This guide is an outline of what we can organise for you in the world of boating. If you would like to have futher information, make a booking or have a specific request, please talk to a Senior Resort Host on Ext. 2, or the management team at anytime. Koh Waeo This small rocky outcrop, lying approximately one kilometer due west of Trisara, is Phuket’s best near-shore snorkeling spot. The coral encircling Koh Waeo, lying between 1 to 5 meters below the surface, is protected by national park status. With comparatively low visitor numbers, tropical fish populations are abundant. Trisara Cruises offers a guided snorkeling cruise on board Trisara 1.
