DusitD2 Baraquda Pattaya to Celebrate World Oceans Day

To celebrate World Oceans Day, dusitD2 baraquda pattaya will be hosted "Returning baby Clownfish to their home reefs" in Sattahip, Chonburi on 8 June 2010. The event will be joined by famous scuba divers as well as Thailand’s renowned underwater photographers, such as Mr. Duangdao Suwanarangsri, Mr. Songpol Amnartsingh and Mr. Nat Samoontamee.

The Clownfish, the Indian species found in the Gulf of Thailand are provided by the Percular Farm, Thailand’s first and biggest clownfish farm which started breeding clownfish in 2001 with the intention of protecting wild marine fish from extinction.

"With this initiative, we aim to increase the awareness of the importance of the world’s ocean in people’s daily lives by showing them ways to improve their impact on the ocean, for example, reducing CO2 emissions. Together with thousands of people from around the world celebrating World Oceans Day, we can make a real difference in our underwater environment," said Mr. Paolo Randone, General Manager of dusitD2 baraquda pattaya

"Additionally, Clownfish symbolises dusitD2 as it has an orange and white-striped body, which matches the brand colour. Furthermore, its popularity has contributed to the depletion of the fish in its habitats worldwide. Therefore, we would like to remind everyone of the importance of this marine life and protect them from extinction," added Mr. Randone

This activity is a part of the Ocean Project, which is an international network of over 1,000 aquariums, zoos, museums, and conservation organisations including dusitD2 baraquda pattaya. The Ocean Project work closely with the World Ocean Network to coordinate and organise activities worldwide under the theme "Oceans of Life – Pick your Favorite * Protect your Favorite" with the special focus on connecting the public with their favourite ocean animal to conserving the world’s oceans.
