IEAT sets up relief funds to help fishermen
The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT) has set up two relief funds in a bid to calm fishermen demanding compensation for the environmental impact caused by land reclamation under IEAT’s third phase of the Map Ta Phut deep-sea port project in Rayong.
The authority also established a tripartite panel, consisting of state officials, scholars and fishermen representatives, to inspect whether the reclamation, which covers around 1,000 rai in the sea, follows guidelines to mitigate environmental impact.
