Fisherman at the Chao Phraya River
A local fisherman of the Klong Mahawong Community, who lives near one of the most polluted canals of the Chao Phraya river; Samrong Canal. He has been fishing in the canal for all of his life, the differences now are that there is much less fish to catch, and the fish he catches should not be eaten right away due to the oily smell, so he has to contain it in clean water for a few days before the fish can be eaten.
A recent Greenpeace report reveals high levels of toxic pollution in this canal. The study shows the presence of heavy metals, hormone disrupting chemicals, and human carcinogens in water and sediments.
