Abstract
The objective of this research is to study youth’s knowledge regarding seagrass and aquatic animal breeding. The target group was young members of a youth group that were descended from small-scale fishers in the Lae Lay group in Thailand. It was found that, after participation in the youth camp, the students’ knowledge about aquatic animal breeding (71.67%) was higher than the criterion specified for passing (70%) among those aged 10-14 years old. However, their knowledge about seagrass and total knowledge (66.15% and 68.27%, respectively) was lower than the specified criterion of 70%. Moreover, their knowledge about seagrass, aquatic animal breeding, and total knowledge after participation in the camp was significantly higher than before participation in the youth camp at the 0.05 level. On the other hand, the knowledge about seagrass, aquatic animal breeding, and total knowledge (40.63%, 58.33%, and 47.44%, respectively) for those aged 7-9 years old was lower than the specified criterion of 70%. Moreover, their knowledge about seagrass, aquatic animal breeding, and total knowledge before and after participation in the camp did not differ significantly at the 0.05 level.
