Kampong Cham and Prey Veng Province, 3) Koh Kong Province, 4) Sihanouk Ville
and Kampot Province, 5) Kep Province, for workshop session. Then each group
discussed on 3 Sessions which are;
o Session 1) How to sustain Community
based Fisheries management and make a CFi plan of action in each province,
o Session 2) Support
system by local government, and

After finished the discussion, each
group presented the result of discussion. For the result of Session 1, the

management should be cooperated with local fisheries and relevant authorities.

conservation areas and refugia areas, crab banks. As well as alternative

support on aquaculture. Besides, the fisheries officers should disseminate the
fisheries laws to local fishers. Moreover, it should try to seek the
cooperation from authorities to patrol IUU fishing and find the interest donors

vessels and daily catching data should be prepared and recorded. Then, the
study on fish species of each area and impact assessment of native aquatic
animal species should be also studied. As well as the marketing cooperation
with relevant sectors should be considered.
