A complex of rivers open to the sea within the site, and extensive seagrass beds are present at Sriboya Island.
The shallow sea bed, sediments discharged from the Tapi River, and strong currents among islands contribute to lack of water transparency, which obstructs coral growth to some extent and limits diving tourism, but with its other attractions the area draws more than 50,000 Thai and international visitors per year for recreation and ecotourism.
Local communities are permitted to practice fishing and harvest lotus flowers and fruit within the non-hunting area, and orchards and tourist resorts in the surrounding area provide job opportunities; residential and resort development are beginning to impact wildlife, however.

Changes in flow regime have also affected river dynamics: these changes are due to climatic change, groundwater abstraction or inappropriate river management practices.
The use of bio-indicators or biomarkers* (chemicals that can easily be measured) is well known and constitutes a useful tool for conservation and management of habitats and individual species.
This information will be used as a tool for the conservation and management of these rivers, in order for the river to reach the 'good' ecological status required by the European Union Water Framework Directive.
