Our researcher, Asst. Prof. Dr. Ponlachart Chotikarn, together with Mr. Pathompong Pramneechote, and Ms. Natthida Thammakirati, participated in the Research Utilization Exhibition at the Thailand Research Expo 2024, held from 26–30 August 2024 at Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Centre, CentralWorld, Bangkok.
The research presented, entitled “Blue Carbon Potential of Natural and Planted Mangrove and Seagrass in the Andaman Sea” was recognized by the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT) as a study with high potential for further development and practical application. The findings contribute significantly to the understanding of Blue Carbon ecosystems and their role in climate change mitigation and sustainable coastal management.
On this occasion, Asst. Prof. Dr. Ponlachart Chotikarn was also invited as a speaker in the session “Sharing research experiences in blue carbon among researchers funded by the National Research Council of Thailand”, as part of the seminar “BLUE CARBON: Directions of Marine Research in Thailand”.
Blue Carbon research plays a crucial role in marine resource conservation and climate change mitigation. The outcomes of this research are expected to support the development of policies and management measures aimed at promoting sustainable marine and coastal resource management and enhancing national responses to climate change.
