This report is dated October
1999 and it is written and photographed by Beach Film Ltd. We
last visited Maya Bay in late August which was mid-monsoon season.
In our 2nd Progress Report,
we showed that the dune had suffered considerable monsoon damage.
The beach was littered with debris which had been washed up and
there were large rubbish dumps scattered around the island. However,
the pictures over the following pages that we received from Beach
Productions Ltd. in October show that a considerable amount of
work has already been carried out by the film company and their
employees. Although it wasn't their responsibility, they have
completely cleared the beach of all rubbish (click here
for pictures we took 2 months earlier). They have also repaired
fences and done a lot of work to help reverse the damage caused
to the dune by the monsoon.
