THAY Somony / Ulrich W. Schmidt:
Aquatic Resources Management - The Tonle Sap Great Lake, Cambodia

Paper presented at the International Conference on Sustainable Aquatic Resources are more than Managing Fish: The Eco-System Approach in Inland Fisheries and the Role of intra-country Linkages

January 12-16, 2004, Penang, Malaysia

The paper briefly describes the physical features of the Tonle Sap Great Lake (TSGL) ecosystem and it’s setting within the Mekong River Basin, and, as the most important inland fishery, it’s pivotal role for the national economy, food balance, and rural livelihoods.

The history of management is traced, and present problems and issues are discussed in the context of dramatic change of tenure, which followed Government decision, in 2000, to release some 56% of formerly limited access fishing grounds into open access, to be, ultimately, managed by fishing communities.
