With all the successes achieved over the past few years with the fishing community on Koh Rong Samloem Island, Marine Conservation Cambodia has begun a new pilot project to assist another small fishing community this time located on the Island of Koh Rong which is still untouched by tourism. Over the past few months small teams of volunteers and staff have been visiting Koh Rong to prepare for the official start of the Marine conservation and community pilot project to assist the community using the previous achievements on Koh Rong Samloem Island as a model.

This month sees the official start of the pilot project with Marine research projects in marine habitat mapping, reef and seagrass surveys and seahorse monitoring surveys now underway. Community projects have also now begun with english lessons for the local children and the start up of regular village and beach clean ups. With your help we can build on this and assist the community to increase its livelihoods, infastructure and protect the ocean.

Updates and photos will follow as the project continues. Please get in contact with us to participate in this new project on the Island of Koh Rong in a small fishing community untouched by tourism.

This is a unique oppertunity to participate in a brand new project in a small Cambodian fishing community so far untouched by tourism, the successes of previous marine conservation Cambodia volunteers and interns on the island of Koh Rong Samloem proves that you can really make a difference.
