[2] Ko Libong, Trang's largest island, is 30 minutes by long-tail boat from Hat Yao Ban Chao Mai Pier.

The island is home to a small Muslim fishing community and has a few resorts on its west coast beaches.

Among them was an infant dugong that died from eating plastic waste, which led to severe gastritis and blood infection.

Ko Libong inhabitants have united to create a preservation zone for dugongs where fishing and navigation are limited.

[1][7][8] The island has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a significant wintering population of spotted greenshanks.
