In late April, Psi Scott, a Scottish-Thai marine conservationist, along with 36 volunteers set a new record for Southeast Asia in a swimming relay of over 70km, crossing the Andaman Sea to raise awareness about marine conservation and plastic waste reduction. Psi also became the youngest swimmer to establish a new open sea swimming record for Asia -- 50km in two days without equipment.
Organised by NGO Sea You Strong, this long-distance swimming adventure took place across the Andaman from Krabi to Phangnga and Phuket. It was titled "Sea You Strong: Stop Abusing The Sea". Unlike other events of this kind, it was not held to solicit donations. "Sea You Strong" was organised by Psi to raise awareness about marine conservation and encourage others to help clean and collect trash on beaches, cliffs and bodies of water.
