Relevant information
Thailand's licensed fishing fleet totalled 16,548 vessels in 2013 (down from 17,203 in 2011 but up from 12,920 in 2008), representing a gross tonnage of 391,972 (up from 378,598 in 2011 and 359,038 in 2008). Most vessels are between 6 and 30 metres long. As explained by the authorities, the increase in fishing licences granted over the period 2008-12 was due to the government's ongoing project to build artificial reefs, particularly in coastal areas. This led to an increase in aquatic animals, in turn causing fishermen to apply for more fishing licences.
