The brownbanded bamboo shark lives in coral reef flats with low oxygen levels during low tides, such as the reef in front of the resort. They’re often targeted as a food source for local people, making fishing the number one threat to its survival.

The resort is teaming up with the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, and the Phuket Marine Biological Center to help restore the wild population of bamboo sharks around Phuket. The sharks are raised in aquaria at the Phuket Marine Biological Center and then released to provide them with a size-advantage, which may increase their lifespans.

Brownbanded bamboo sharks feed on crabs, worms and small fish on the reef. They pose no threats to humans as they are shy bottom feeders.
