Chhorvy’s story

Cambodia: Chhorvy recording her catch for the day. Monitoring the catch of fish is important for the management and conservation of communities who depend on the lake for their nutrition, as well as providing indicators on ecological health of the water due to how sensitive fish are to water changes.

“There were many classes such as on gender, fishery law, negotiation skills and training on fish ecology ... I think that is good for the community.”
