Friday, March 30, 2018, Cruising the Andaman Sea
The Andaman Sea has long
served as a highway for the transport of goods, trade, and ideas that has
shaped the cultures of Southeast Asia.
To the east, its pristine waters kiss the coasts of Myanmar, Thailand,
and Malaysia. To the west, the Andaman
and Nicobar Islands, both part of India, create a physical and cultural border
between the Andaman and the Bay of Bengal.
Throughout history, the sea has been a rich source of food. Today, many Moken people still live on
wooden, covered boats on open waters.
The Andaman is also home to some remarkable creatures, including the
manatee-like dugong, the Irrawaddy dolphin, and the critically endangered
leatherback turtle, the largest turtle in the world.
