To strengthen community fisheries (CF) in protecting and managing fisheries resources in CF areas, reservoirs, and flooded forest. To provide legality to established CFs through registration; re-election; revision/formulation of CF plan; mapping; and boundary demarcation. c. To provide the understanding on the importance of participating in the protection of fisheries resources and other natural resources through community fisheries and how this affects their ability to diversify their livelihood options to publicity, partners and line agencies. d. To develop and effectively inspire communicating and information system to a wider group of local communities in order to improve their understanding of the fisheries law, and other relevant norms which are involved in community fisheries roles and rights. e. To diversify livelihood options to support to the CFi members’ income and well-being, and then particularly to motivate their active participation in effective protection and management fisheries resources within their CFi fisheries domain. f.

14. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: (Provide a description of the project and all its components.)
To manage and conserve fisheries resources for the sustainable use and management through local participation based on community fisheries management and development in order to achieve the improvement of local people livelihoods by increaseing fish stock and catch for family food security and income generation.
15. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: (Give reasons why this particular project is considered worthwhile.)
Since fisheries reform in 2000, 516 community fisheries (CFi) have been established in the community fisheries area of inland and coastal of Cambodian waters, aimed at empowering CFis’ rights to accessing, protecting, managing and conserving of fisheries resources. In supporting to this reform, collectively participate from the CFis are encouraged and seen as the indicators to reflect the adaptive co-management practice in fisheries resources. It was due to the aware of this, fisheries administration together with its development partners and line agencies have actively been assisting community fisheries located in several important part of fisheries domains, such as the Tonle Sap Great Lake, Coral/Seagrass/mangrove areas, and Upper Mekong River, through improving their legality, knowledge, livelihoods, and especially to build their capacity in protection and management of CFi’ fisheries resources. Likewise, other established CFi in the Lower part of the Mekong River and other fisheries domains also need the support. However, it was due to the limitation of fund source, some of communities located around the Lower Mekong River and other floodplains are getting less support from either government program or NGOs, leading to imbalance in co-managing and conserving of fisheries resources, and unable to get healthy environment for the whole fisheries ecosystem. In order to escape from such gap, therefore, FiA put a lot of efforts to find the opportunity to support communities and try to collaborate with development partners for the sake of strengthening of existing CFi and harmonizing fisheries resources in Cambodia’ water bodies.
