Marine Conservation Cambodia had the proud honor of helping with logistical support in the implementation of Koh Rong Samloems first permanent recreational mooring buoy. With Financial and technical support from Acting for Life NGO especially Miss Tori Green and Miss Anne Pelletier who worked closely with the community to implement Acting For Life's mooring buoy project, Koh Rong Samloem Community has built four permanent mooring buoys to be installed at four of the most popular scuba diving sites around Koh Rong Samloem.
On Sunday 21st of August 2011 the first of the four mooring buoys was deployed at the dive site locally know as Vietnamese Bay. This was a proud moment for the Koh Rong Samloem community who have actively campaigned for the installation of mooring buoys to help stop the destructive practice of anchoring on the coral reefs. Two other buoys have since been placed, one at the dive site known as Corner Bar and the other at a dive site known as Backdoor.
