1.	Removal of invasive alien species.							Twice a year	Target: To ensure there are no invasive alien species present in the river. Indicator: Decrease of invasive fish abundance and/or increase of economic fish species catchment in the river.	Operational Sites	Provincial Fisheries office
2.	Develop CSR initiative raises awareness about sustainable fisheries and the negative impact of invasive species							Throughout the project lifetime	Target: To prevent the releasing of invasive species to the river and upstream dam. Indicator: Decrease of invasive fish abundance and/or increase of economic fish species catchment in the river.	Operational Sites	Provincial Fisheries office and/or surrounding village
3.	Conduct training for staff to understand the importance of high conservation value species that exist in the EAAA river ecosystem.							Twice a year	Target: To raise awareness of ThaiBev’s staff regarding the river ecosystem Indicator: Questionnaires to understand staff awareness.	Operational Sites	Professors from universities and/or related government agencies
4.	Conduct biodiversity monitoring of surrounding habitats, especially freshwater fish and their habitats within the EAAA and upstream areas to obtain baseline information.							Annually	Target: To validate monitoring of freshwater species Indicator: Updated database and information on biodiversity in the Project area. Methods: To obtain overall fish diversity data, combination of methodology need to be considered such as catch-per-unit effort (CPUE) method together with install of beach seines.	Operational Sites	Research units from universities and/or Provincial Fisheries Department
5.	Conduct physical environmental monitoring of the river in the EAAA and upstream areas to obtain baseline information.							Annually	Target: To validate monitoring of terrestrial and freshwater species Indicator: Updated database and information of biodiversity in the Project area. Methods: Follow the surface water quality standard of Pollution Control Department: Notification of the National Environmental Board, No. 8, B.E. 2537 (1994), Issued under the Enhancement and Conservation of National Environmental Quality Act B.E. 2535 (1992)	Operational Sites	Research units from universities and/or Provincial Environmental and Pollution Control Office
6.	Encourage Project staff to avoid using single use plastic							Throughout the project lifetime	Target: To prevent incidental events of plastic waste falling into the natural watercourse. Indicator: Number of campaign event regarding to plastic waste	Operational Sites	Provincial Environmental and Pollution Control Office and/or surrounding village
7.	Develop CSR initiative raises awareness about negative impact of plastic waste to ecosystem of the river.							Throughout the project lifetime	Target: To prevent incidental events of plastic waste falling into the natural watercourse. Indicator: Number of campaign event regarding to plastic waste	Operational Sites	Provincial Environmental and Pollution Control Office and/or surrounding village
8.	Set up schedule so that night activities are conducted for a limited time.							Throughout the project lifetime	Target: To reduce the number of nocturnal species drawn to the Project area by the Project's light sources. Indicator: More than 60% of outdoor lighting turned off at nighttime.	Operational Sites	-
9.	Change outdoor lights to shielded light fixtures.							-	Target: To reduce the number of nocturnal species drawn to the Project area by the Project's light sources. Indicator: All outdoor light should be changed to shielded light fixtures.	Operational Sites	-
10.	Communicate to upstream and surrounding agricultural communities to avoid using chemical fertilizers. ThaiBev to encourage them to use organic fertilizers instead, as well as to replenish the soil with organic waste.							-	Target: To reduce environmental stress of the river due to contamination by agricultural chemicals. Indicator: Annual physical environment monitoring report reflects the decrease of dissolved phosphorus and ammonia in the EAAA.	Operational Sites	Surrounding villagers
11.	Support to upstream and surrounding agricultural communities to drive the agricultural transformation from chemical farms to organic farms.							-	Target: To reduce chemical contamination in the riverbank’s soil, which directly seeps into the river. Indicator: Number of upstream and surrounding agricultural communities who transition from chemical farms to organic farms.	Operational Sites	Surrounding villagers
12.	Routinely meet stakeholders to share updated information related to the environment, especially biodiversity and habitats.							-	Target: To ensure continuous communication with stakeholders and encourage knowledge sharing. Indicator: Minutes of meetings from stakeholder consultations.	Operational Sites	-
13.	Implement adaptive management measures if biodiversity monitoring documents impact on any species and/or no positive significant change on overall habitat.							If impact on any terrestrial and freshwater species is reported	Target: To reduce impacts to terrestrial and freshwater species. Indicator: Reduced or no reports regarding impacts on terrestrial and freshwater species.
