Songkhla: Local leaders and civic groups are calling for help funding the removal of 115 Vietnamese fishing vessels seized since 2014 and left unattended in Songkhla Lake ever since.
The number was 152 before 40 vessels in much better condition were auctioned off, leaving these 115 broken boats as a de facto rubbish dump on the lake, said a source, adding they can still be turned into artificial reefs.
