Tanintharyi Note:
1.The information provided on this map has been compiled from scientific research of the marine environments
of the Myeik Archipelago and mangrove habitats. The data has been used to identify biodiverse and/or
12°0'0"N

functionally important ecosystems which are a high priority for protection such as Marine Protected Areas.

2.The current map IS NOT a zoning plan for development but should be used to guide EIAs.
Given however that the EIA process for coastal and marine development is yet
to be institutionalised it is recommended that:
Prachuap
RED ZONES: off limits to development until EIA process is official
Khiri Khan
Maw Taung ^
¬ Yellow Zones: development only following EIA and international best practice environmental
management plans in place Mangrove Protected Sites: no development or forest clearing

3.Scientific research into the biodiversity value of the terrestrial island ecosystems is yet to be undertaken
(except for Lampi MNP), as such all island ecosystems should be treated with caution in terms of
Had development until surveys have been conducted to make clear their value.

prop. NP Huai Yang
it may just mean this area has not been surveyed.
