1. The ecology of Teluk Patani

‘Teluk Patani’ is a Melayu name – ‘Teluk’ meaning bay and ‘Pata’ - beach.
Also known as “Pattani Bay” the local fishermen describe it as an area that extends
from the coast of Thepha district of Songkhla province, through Nong Chik, Yaring
districts to Tachie Cape of Pattani. It covers the outer sea, called ‘laut luar’, inner
สารบัญ sea or ‘laut dalam’ and mangrove forests. The area features piles of submerged

rocks and coral reefs – real and artificial, all along the coastline with marine ridges
in the middle of the sea.
Pattani Bay features mudflats and mangrove forests with a mix of fresh,
saline and brackish water. The estuaries that lead to the western side of the bay

canal, ‘Sai Moh’, ‘Bangtawa’ canal, ‘Bang Plamoh’ canal, and Pattani estuaries.
