Future Solutions Now - The Tonle Sap Initiative November 2005
Serrat, Olivier | November 2005
Abstract
The fisheries of the Tonle Sap are of vital importance in terms of livelihoods and food security. They provide the only insurance against catastrophe and their sustainable management is intimately linked to the quality of life of millions of people.
The fisheries of the Tonle Sap face unprecedented challenges. Overexploitation is a serious threat, given population and development pressures, and this problem is exacerbated by loose management and policy enforcement, as well as the paucity of research initiatives.
