In #Cambodia, when you are a friend or relative of the king, marine conservation stands in the way of your wealth creation.

“The conversion of Ream National Park to a 39,634-hectare (97,937-acre) marine protected area has done little to prevent more than 8,000 hectares (19,800 acres) of the park and Koh Thmei being handed over to Cambodia’s political elite, including relatives of Prime Minister Hun Manet.

“Even in Kampot province, which sits next to Kep, development has posed a challenge to implementing an MFMA, with the boundaries repeatedly being redrawn due to ongoing land reclamation projects. Meanwhile, in Kep, the island of Koh Tonsay – the largest in the MFMA that MCC helped to establish – has been awarded to Try Pheap, a powerful tycoon who was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department for his involvement in Cambodia’s illegal timber trade.”

#Gillnets are killing endangered species in numbers "far greater" than what is reported, calling for a ban on the #fishing practice in Great Barrier #Reef waters. "It's a #Dugong Protection Area here but you can still net … I don't know where the logic is. Gillnets are indiscriminate killers which can capture and drown iconic threatened species like dugongs in minutes. Fishers may be illegally mutilating endangered species to attract sharks to devour the carcasses.”
