Ko Surin Island's reefs were subject to much blasting by fishermen until recently. Sport diving, gamefishing and simple nature excursions are now the main attractions. Even though some of the coral reefs around Koh Surin to all appearances remain spectacularly healthy. Tourism Authorities have installed mooring buoys on some reefs and these have proven effective in reducing anchor damage to corals. Again, as in other areas of the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, commercial collecting is pushing some species of shellfish to the brink of local extinction.
