This photo taken on December 22, 2022 shows Lalita “Nan” Putchim, marine biologist and specialist in coral biology from Thailand's Department of Marine and Coastal Resources, taking a photo of an outbreak of yellow-band disease on coral formations off the coast of Samae San island in Sattahip district in the coastal Thai province of Chonburi. Underneath Thailand's calm turquoise seas, Thai scientists are frantically studying a highly infectious disease that is killing the kingdom's vital corals – and threatening the local tourist economy.
