Bordered poles (old electric cement posts covered with old car tires) installed in the mud flat at Ban Laem Fa Pah, Samutprakarn Province decrease wave velocity and prevent coastal erosion. of a website to disseminate knowledge and provide a better understanding of mangrove conservation, and building a network of conservationists among youths from age 8 to 17 years old. The bordered poles have led to sediment accumulation. Based on data collected from 2005 to 2007, the recorded accumulated sediment was 42 cm thick. Bordered poles can help reduce wave attack of up to 40 percent of the wave height, and can thus reduce 60 percent of wave action. Figure 4. Three rows of old electric cement posts with seven layers of old tires can decrease wave velocity by 50 per cent and prevent coastal erosion.
