Gecko Phuket students report as mini-cove monitors from the Cove in Taiji, Japan

From the Phuket TV "Students from the Gecko School in Thalang undertook a stupendous challenge recently - a 100 kilometer cycle trip to the JW Marriott in Khao Lak. The adventure was organized to help raise funds to pay for the students to visit Taiji in Japan, home of the notorious Cove - where hundreds of dolphins are slaughtered each year. The group heading to Khao Lak were joined by dozens more on the first 20 kilometer section of the ride - from the school to the JW Marriott Phuket, where they were met by GM Oriol Montal and CSR director Sean Panton, who were eager to introduce them to another ecological endeavor - a new turtle shelter at the resort."
