ADB Plans to Build Standardised Fishing Port in Sihanoukville

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is helping Cambodia implement a sustainable coastal and marine fisheries project, with plans to build a new standardised fishing port in Sihanoukville.

According to the meeting on Thursday 17 February, the project aims to improve fishery efficiency, strengthen waste management, and reduce the impact on marine life from fishing activities.

The project includes building a marine ecological resources management system, upgrading coastal infrastructure, and providing financial assistance to local coastal businesses.

Sihanoukville Governor HE Kouch Chamroeun fully supported the project and recommended that the ADB consider two locations for the port construction. The first is in Stueng Hav district as there are many fishermen there and the second is Kaoh Khjorng area in Prey Nob district.

The governor also urged ADB to help manage the mangrove forest by setting up protection and replantation plans.
