Thailand's Andaman Sea dugong population may have fallen by as much as half in response to a mass seagrass die-off. Dozens of dead + stranded dugongs have been washing ashore, and the sea cows have moved from Trang province to Phuket. Latest for @theguardian.com

Thailand’s transport authorities have blamed poor coordination between construction work and live rail operations for a deadly crane collapse on a high-speed rail project, while the cause of a separate motorway incident remains under investigation.

Lack of Site Communication Blamed for Deadly Rail Crane Collapse; Contract Termination Decision Set for Jan 29
Transport authorities have concluded that a failure to coordinate construction work with live rail operations caused a crane component to fall onto a passing train on the Thai–Chinese high-speed rail project, killing 32 people, the transport minister said on Friday. Acting Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said the January 14 incident occurred in Sikhio district, Nakhon Ratchasima, where construction proceeded without suspending train services, despite contractual requirements to halt work and notify railway stations before trains pass through construction zones.
