Bangkok Bank invites customers to accumulate two million planktons and turnthem into a marine turtle nursery, helping to restore life to Thailand's seas

Restoring Life to the Sea - Bangkok Bank Vice President Mr. Chanand Sophonpanich and Assistant Vice President, Mobile Banking Channel Management Ms. Jarucha Koosmith presented two marine turtle nursery sets comprising fiberglass tanks with water filtration systems to the Upper Gulf of Thailand Marine and Coastal Resources Research Center as a result of the "From Planktons to Planet?Friendly Power" activity in the "Hunt Planktons for Rewards" campaign on Bangkok Bank Mobile Banking. The initiative invited customers to participate in a plankton?collecting mission and convert their accumulated points into funding for marine turtle nursery equipment. Through strong collective participation, customers successfully reached the target of 2,000,000 planktons within just 29 days (from December 1-29, 2025). The points were converted to fund two complete marine turtle nursery tanks, with a total value of 148,400 baht. The donated equipment will help enhance the care, treatment, and rehabilitation of injured sea turtles affected by natural causes and human activities, such as entanglement in fishing gear, ingestion of marine debris, and entrapment by plastic waste. The improved nursery system is expected to increase recovery and survival rates, reducing mortality during rehabilitation before the turtles are safely released back into the sea by at least 30%. On this occasion, Mr. Narongrit Lertkasetvittaya, Fishery Biologist, Senior Professional Level Acting Director of Marine and Coastal Resources Research Center, Upper Gulf of Thailand, formally received the donation.
