Experiences from Three Marine Community Fisheries

Conflict over access to natural resources is increasingly common in Cambodia.  This report examines the roots of a conflict over fishing grounds in Cambodia’s Kompong Som Bay.   The report provides case histories of the conflict between trawler operators and traditional fishers, and the struggle to safeguard resources.  The true stories of the communities are presented in a simple and accessible way.

This report was commissioned by AFSC and the Fisheries Action Coalition Team (FACT).
