Factsheet #3: Community fisheries and development projects in Cambodia's coastal areas

The Cambodian Center for Human Rights ("CCHR") releases a third fact sheet on community fisheries and development projects in Cambodia's coastal areas. This factsheet builds upon two previous fact sheets released by CCHR in 2021 and 2022 and wraps up its field research on two development projects threatening CFi in the coastal areas of Kampot and Kep provinces: one involving the company OMNI Kampot Development Co., Ltd (“OMNI company”) and the other involving the company Ching Kor Import Export Co., Ltd (“Ching Kor company”). In addition, some other development projects threatening CFis are also shown in this factsheet. This fact sheet concludes with tangible recommendations to the Royal Government of Cambodia (“RGC”) and businesses in order to improve respect for fishing and land rights and fundamental freedoms along the coast and across the country.
