A recent study provides the first detailed map of Cambodia’s coastal seafloor habitats and finds that simple, low-cost anti-trawling structures are helping seagrass meadows recover and support small-scale fishers in the Kep Marine Fisheries Management Area in the Gulf of Thailand.
The study was published in Frontiers in Marine Science by researchers from Marine Conservation Cambodia, an organization that co-manages the Kep MFMA in partnership with Cambodian authorities and local fishing communities.
