Kampong Phluk

A mid-term review was recently completed of the EU funded and IUCN and FACT implemented project Strengthening capacity of fishing communities in the Tonle Sap to manage their natural resources sustainably, which has helped establish and test the value of fish conservation areas (FCAs) in the Tonle Sap.  

With EU funding, FACT and IUCN have helped the community fisheries (CFi) committee establish a 200-hectare fish conservation area (FCA) in Kampong Phluk. This is the largest and wealthiest of the three pilot sites and has been the most challenging because of its rich fishing grounds, which are considered among the most productive in the Tonle Sap.
