Sustainable Coastal and Marine Fisheries Project

About this project

The project invests in increasing the climate resilience and sustainability of coastal and marine fisheries in Cambodia, targeting the four coastal provinces of Cambodia - Kampot, Kep, Koh Kong, and Preah Sihanouk to reverse the sharp decline in fisheries, promote sustainable mariculture, and enhance fish landing sites to improve seafood safety. It is expected that about 40% of the nearshore fishery will be regenerated into a more productive and sustainable fishery. It will make significant contributions to enhance adaptation to climate change. The project will also promote private sector development by enabling coastal communities and small businesses to diversify their livelihoods, adopt sustainable practices, and scale up into viable enterprises. It will support women's economic empowerment by scaling up women's engagement in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The project will benefit 25 community fisheries (CFi) organizations and members of 15 community protected areas (CPAs), comprising nearly 20,000 households, and a wider coastal community of about 200,000. The project is aligned with the following impact: coastal and marine fisheries resources made sustainable and resilient. The project will have the following outcome: coastal and marine fish stocks recovered, and diversified climate-resilient income generated. To achieve this outcome, the project has 3 key outputs. Output 1 will support enhancement of adaptive coastal and marine fisheries, which ta…
