Abstract

This review of the marine fisheries of Cambodia is based on in-country mission work carried out in early 2003 in order to: (a) describe the marine fishery sector; (b) identify opportunities, constraints, and paths to solutions for the sector; and (c) identify areas for follow-up investigation. Excess fishing effort and associated declines in abundance of target species are the most serious problems facing Cambodia's marine fisheries. The major causes appear to be population increases coupled with a sluggish economy and the government's open access policy. This review endorses the findings of other studies of Cambodia's marine fisheries in concluding that resource sustainability requires restrictions on resource access. Much capacity building is also required for the effective management of marine fisheries in Cambodia. A suite of initiatives is proposed for addressing these problems and promoting the transition to responsible fisheries.
