those communities. For example, conservation, restoration and surveillance can be considered an activity that covers the interest payment on the loan. The project consideration process utilizes the principles of transparency and participation from all sectors. Committees have been established at district and network levels in order to screen projects proposed by groups/ communities for receiving budgetary support comprising project consideration committees at the district, network and provincial levels. Group/community members who have received budgetary support arranged joint consultation in order to select member representatives to take responsibility for the process of monetary reimbursement and accounting for the project based on the principles of joint responsibility. Following the completion of the project, the Province of Surat Thani issued an order appointing a Ban Don Bay Coastal Resource Management Committee as a mechanism for participation from various sectors in conserving, restoring and resolving problems concerning coastal resource management in the Ban Don Bay area with support from the Thailand Research Fund (TRF) to make the multi-party resource management even more practical. At the same time, the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP), which is a state agency overseeing natural resource and environmental policies, is preparing to declare Ban Don Bay an environmentally protected area as a legal measure for the promotion and support of the sustainable conservation and management of coastal resources and mangroves in Ban Don Bay.
