Due to awareness and the making of the national Fisheries law, Koh Rung
Samleom village at Mai Pai bay on Koh Rung Samleom has applied for a
community fishing area with great success. The official establishment
of their own community fishing area was finalized this month. An area
of about 10 km around Koh Rung Samleom, including Koh Koun island, has
been designated to Koh Rung Samleom village. This is our very first
start towards conservation of marine resources in Cambodia.
