Mu Ko Similan


References
Destructive fishing practices, including use of explosives, are one of the main threats to biodiversity at the site. Another source of threat is tourism development, including pollution, unsustainable use of freshwater resources and damage to coral reefs from anchoring boats. Dogs are also perceived to be a threat to the population of Nicobar Pigeon on the islands.
