In Cambodia, the fisheries co-management emerged as a way to ensure the governance, environmental, social–economic sustainability of aquatic resources and Community Fisheries members who rely on the sector for their economic wellbeing. The factsheet describes how the Smart Fisheries Co-Management (SFC) project is working to formulate and execute efficient co-management strategies and frameworks for sustainable governance of fisheries at the national and local levels. The SFC project operates specifically in the Kratie and Stung Treng provinces on the Mekong River with the aim to empower the members of community fisheries and promote the conservation of aquatic resources.
