As part of AmericanThai.net's activities, we help promote and/or support any valuable interesting projects, both in Thailand and in the United States. The "Giant Clam Conservation/Adoption Project" is a wonderful project that we have been involved with.

Led by Jintana Nugranad, Director & Senior Fisheries Biologist, the Giant Clam Conservation/Adoption Project is a new ocean conservation project of the Department of Fisheries. The project accepts donations to support the ocean nursery and reintroduction of the juvenile giant clams.
The Prachuap Khirikhan Coastal Fisheries Research & Development Centre succeeded in breeding giant clams, Tridacna squamosa since 1993 and is responsible for this special Giant Clam Conservation/ Adoption Project, for both Andaman and the Gulf of Thailand varieties. The first transfer of giant clams for this adoption project was done on November 15-16, 2007.
