A group of thousand of small-scale fishermen on Monday petitioned to the Rayong province's governor and PTT Glocal Chemical Plc (PTTGC), who caused the oil spill, to pay the fair compensation for the damages from the oil accident.
The fishermen in two districts in Rayong province asked the related agency come up with the concrete plan to set up the Environmental and Occupational Development for Fishery.
The surveillance plan and the panel to monitor and prevent the oil spill is also needed to establish, Jaturas Iamworanirand, president of Small Scale Fisherman Association, said.
