Site Description (Full site Characterisation as in Annex 1):

The proposed demonstration site for mangrove and wetland represents the entire Peam Krasop Wildlife
Sanctuary, which is one of the 23 protected areas in Cambodia, was officially established on 1st November
1993 by the Royal Decree for the Creation and Designation of Protected Areas It is also one of the 10
Cambodian Wildlife Sanctuaries and of the 6 protected areas in Koh Kong Province. The map of Peam
Krasop demonstration site is attached as in Annex 1) the total area being around 25,897 ha.

The area has an elevation of 0 2 metres, a perimeter of around 61,050 metres and lies in a deltaic flood
plain bisected by numerous distributary channels and salt water inlets. The area lies about 15 km South-
east of Koh Kong Town near the border with Trat Province of Thailand.

7.1 Environment:

Peam Krasop is dominated by small alluvial islands immediately off the mainland of Koh Kong Province
many of which have been formed by the deposition of mud and sand eroded from the sandstone
catchments of the two main rivers, Peam Krasop estuary called Prek Peam Krasop (in Peam Krasop
commune) and Stung Kep estuary (in Koh Kapik commune). The catchments of these rivers are located on
the southern slope of the Cardamom Mountains. The soils consist of a thin organic mud or humus layer
overlying sand and sandy loam, hence they are predominantly alluvial and sandstone soils of red or yellow
podzol and coastal complex. Along the western coastline of the main island, there is well-developed
mudflat, while the northern coastline is sandy. The site is classified into two wetland types (estuarine
waters, and intertidal mud, sand, or salt flats) and is listed under old Criteria 1(b) and 1(c) of Ramsar
Convention as `good representative examples' and 2(c) for its special value with respect to endemic plant
or animal species (Ramsar Convention Criteria) (Annex 1)

The climate of the area is similar to the rest of Cambodia in terms of being a tropical monsoon climate with
two distinct seasons (wet and dry). The average temperature is 28°C; and the annual rainfall ranges from
2,800-3,000 millimetres. The area is strongly influenced by surface freshwater runoff from the two rivers.
The presence of intact mangrove areas contributes significantly to the stabilization of the coast against
erosion by storms and tides.

7.2. Habitat(s):

PKWS is the most intact mangrove forest in Cambodia and arguably in the whole Gulf of Thailand. The
mangroves in the RAMSAR site and wildlife Sanctuary are bisected by, many creeks. Within the area;
5,235 ha (38.85 %) consists of mangrove forest; 47 ha (0.35 %) is agricultural land; 725 ha (5.40 %) is
evergreen disturbed forest; 411 ha (3.1 %) is evergreen mosaic area; 108 ha (1%) is grassland; and the
open water surfaces total 6,957 ha (51.60 %). Due to the site's diverse geomorphology and habitats it is
considered to be a major important spawning and nursery ground for many fish, crustaceans, and molluscs
because the area is rich in zooplankton biomass.

In Peam Krasop Rhizophora apiculata and Rhizophora mucronata fronting the river margins and Ceriops
tagal, Xylocarpus granatum, Nypa fruticans, Brugiera gymnorrhiza, Lumnitzera littorea, Hibiscus tiliaceus
and Heritiera littoralis grow as back mangroves. The ground layer is characterised by Acrosticum
speciosum, Acanthus sp., Pandanus sp., and many epiphytes including orchids and Asplenium nidens.
Melaleuca trees occur mainly to the landward of the mangrove species but sometimes at elevations in
excess of 2 metres in the mangrove dominated zones. Melaleuca trees appear in uniform stands but
sometimes occur as a mixed assemblage consisting of Melaleuca leucadendron with Licula spinosa,
Pandanis, Acrosthicum aureum, A. speciosum, Hibiscus tiliaceus, Xylocarus granatum, Herutuera littoralis,
and Phonix paludosa. There are 43 true mangrove species in this sanctuary.

There are several sand beaches and mud flats along the coast of the mainland and of Koh Kong Island
with several large pristine beaches on Koh Kong Island. There are indications of extensive coral reefs
along the west coast of Koh Kong Island in water depth of more than 4 m. Corals at Koh Kong island
appear to be free from major threats such as dynamite fishing and coral collection. A variety of marine fish
are harvested in the area adjacent to the coral reefs include grouper, spine-foot fish, snappers, breams,
mullets, shark, dolphin-fish (black and white), rays, and others. The globally endangered Irrawaddy dolphin
(Orcaella brevirostris) has been seen near Lamdam northeast of Koh Kong Island.

Some 34 species of water birds, including 21 species of waders (Chararidae and Scolopacidae) and six
species of Terns and Gulls (Laridae), have been recorded. Of the 3,787 water birds counted on the western
2

shore of Peam Krasop, two species occur in internationally significant numbers: 13 Nordmann's
Greenshank (Tringa guttifer), and endangered species, and 190 Broad-billed Sandippers (Limicola
falcinellus). Six other species, including Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica), Mongolian Sandplover
(Charadrius mongolus), Greenshank (Triga nebularia), and Grey Plover (Pluvialis squatarola); occurred in
numbers exceeding the minimum criteria for birds staging at a site, enabling the site to qualify as part the
new East Asia/Australasian Shorebird Reserve Network. Macaca fascicularis is global threatened primate
species that found within site.

7.3. Present
Use:

The population of Peam Krasop is around 9,000 people and about 90 percent of the population are
migrants from different provinces. In total, there are 10 villages in 6 communes (in 3 districts) located within
or adjacent to the demonstration site. The occupations of the population include fishing, charcoal
production and mangrove logging. Agricultural farming and livestock breeding are common activities on a
small scale; however, these agricultural activities are increasing significantly as a consequence of
population growth.

The site and its surrounding areas are owned by the state. As state common property, the areas are,
however, used by local communities in and around the reserve as a source of charcoal, firewood, timber,
fish, crustaceans and molluscs, for family consumption and small scale income generation. Fishing is the
most important activity for these local people. Presently, some families are benefiting from the introduction
of alternative livelihood activities through community development of Coastal Zone Management (CZM)
Project. There is also an environmental educational programme supported by CZM/DANIDA focusing on
many environmental activities including awareness of the values of wetland and mangrove resources and
ecosystems.

Presently, there is neither information nor facilities for tourism, but the area is easily accessible by boat and
given the rich avifauna it could possibly be developed as a potential eco-tourism destination. Overnight
stays are possible, but a day trip is the most recommended since it is very near to Koh Kong Town.
Information can be obtained from local villagers at the site.

7.4. Management
Regime:

The whole area is within the jurisdiction of the Department of Nature Conservation and Protection of the
Ministry of Environment. Specifically, the Office of Wetland, Watershed and Coastal Zone Management, is
directly responsible for planning, management and administration of the area.

The Cambodia Coastal Zone Committee, an inter-ministerial body, acts as the decision-making body for
coastal zone management in the country including making recommendations on policy and the
development strategy. Local people are encouraged by the central government to establish their own
communities that support wise/sustainable use and the protection/conservation of natural resources and
environment. Provincial authorities are the government entities that backstop all operations and
interventions in order to protect and conserve the site and wetland benefits.

8. Stakeholders:

The major stakeholders in the area include central government agencies, local government agencies
(provincial technical and non-technical departments), local communities and Non-governmental
organisations (NGOs), large and medium scale private sector enterprise is currently lacking in the area.

8.1.
Central Government Agencies:

Ministry of Environment Department of Nature Conservation and Protection is responsible for planning,
management and supervising of the Ramsar site and national protected areas.
Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Department of Forestry and Wildlife and Department of
Fisheries are governmental collaborative partners for protecting and managing natural resources within the
whole country.

These central governmental agencies are responsible for providing authorisation and supervision to
provincial agencies. As members of the high level inter-ministry committee, these governmental agencies
guide local authorities and site manager in order to ensure that the implementation of activities are in
accordance with national priorities and strategies.
3

8.2.
Local Authorities and Communities:

Local authorities: Koh Kong Provincial and district governors and commune council are responsible for the
administration of activities and the local populations within the Koh Kong province. The main provincial
technical agencies include the Koh Kong Department of Environment, Department of Agriculture, Forestry
and Fisheries, Department of Rural Development, and the Department of Tourism. These local technical
agencies will support and participate in activities at the demonstration site and will play a key role as locally
based implementers and supporters in ensuring the activities are carried out smoothly and productively.

Local communities: There are six local communities within and around the PKWS who will be directly
involved in managing and conserving natural resources (mangroves and fisheries) within the area. The
community-based approach for natural resource management is applied to promote participation in
decision making for the use natural resources in a sustainable manner. The names of the six communities
are Beoung Kachhang, Koh Sralauv, Koh Kang, Koh Kapik, Toul Koki and Stung Veag.

These six communities, as direct resource users, are the main target groups of the demonstration site
project. These main stakeholders have to be encouraged to participate in the project.

8.3
Existing Projects and NGOs:

Participatory Management of Mangrove Resources (PMMR) is a project that focuses on mangrove
protection, and plantation via participation of the local community in Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary. This
project has been supported by, the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of CANADA, since
1998 and activities under the present project will complement those of this initiative.

Coastal Zone Management Unit called Coastal Coordinating Unit (CCU) supported by DANIDA, during its
second phase of work as the secretariat of Coastal Steering Committee, is focusing on the establishment of
environmental and socio-economical indicators for detecting the progress of pilot project's activities of
community-based natural resource management and livelihood improvement at district level.

These projects are considered as important contributors to project success in that the will provide training
and experience for project implementation and administration as well as locally community-based
mangrove resource management and restoration in PKWS.

9. Threats:

Based on the causal chain analysis conducted by the National Mangrove and Wetland Committees, major
threats to the habitats found at PKWS are summarised as follows:

1. Cutting Mangroves for charcoal production using charcoal kilns of between two and six metres in
diameter.
2. Fish catch has apparently reduced from 10-20 kg/night to 3-4 kg/night (small scale fishing gear),
this lowered catch suggesting problems resulting from over-fishing in the area. Increased fishing
effort stems from the use of modern fishing gear such as push nets and trawl nets, which destroy
the benthic biological resources and disturb the seabed.
3. In 1989, there were three shrimp farms in PKWS with total areas of 40.55ha; and these activities
seriously affected water quality and aquatic species. Shrimp disease occurred in the ponds, and
there was a big loss of production resulting in a cessation of activities. Tilapia species have been
introduced into these shrimp ponds as secondary options of aquaculture.

The most critical threats to the site are habitat loss and reduction of aquatic resources, which result from
direct use of mangrove for charcoal, over exploitation of marine resources, land clearance (land
encroachment), soil erosion and sedimentation, and inappropriate waste dumping and discharge (Annex
3).

The impacts from these threats are likely to increase as a consequence of population growth resulting from
in-migration from other parts of the country and locally high population growth rates. Of the total of 8,912
people living at PKWS the majority are dependent on marine resources for direct use. Poverty is a key
issue that is perceived as an underlying cause of environmental degradation in the area.

10.
Goals and Purpose:

The overall goal is to promote wise and sustainable uses of the natural resources in Peam Krasop Wildlife
Sanctuary.

11.
Rationale and Objectives:

Rationale:

Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary is the only national protected area that consists of a pristine mangrove
forest area in Cambodia. Importantly, this Wildlife Sanctuary is associated with the Koh Kapik Ramsar Site,
which has been designated as an internationally important wetland for the migratory waterfowl. In spite of
national and international obligations to protect and manage the site, the interests of the very significant
numbers of people living and surviving upon the natural resources of site must be taken into consideration
in any long-term plans for sustainable use of the area. Conflicts between local communities, local
authorities, sanctuary authorities and others, with regard to natural resource use, have been increasing.

Although PKWS was designated as a National Wildlife Sanctuary with International Wetland Importance;
policy, strategy and management plan have not yet been put in place. Best practices in community-based
resource management and conservation have not been fully applied to date.

Objectives:

1. To develop; in full consultation with all stakeholders, government, private sector and civil society; a
management plan (including strategy, regulation and monitoring guideline) for the sustainable use
of the natural resources in PKWS;
2. To restore degraded mangrove and wetland areas;
3. To support local communities in improving their livelihoods through mechanisms including
partnership with private sector investors and NGOs;
4. To promote understanding of wetlands and mangroves among local communities and authorities;
5. To improve the knowledge and skills of government officials, local authorities and communities with
respect to wetland and mangrove management.

12. Outcomes:

The desired outcomes from the project intervention are as follows:
1. A comprehensive management plan (including strategy, regulation, and monitoring guideline) for
mangrove and wetland resources in PKWS will be in place,, drafted, accepted by the stakeholders
and approved by the government;
2. Degraded areas 2500 ha of mangrove will be restored;
3. Strong support from private sector and local NGOs, to alternative income generation;
4. Local communities and authorities will be aware of and understand the significance of mangrove
and wetland resources;
5. The capacity of local authorities will be built to enable them to manage the mangrove and wetland
resources in a sustainable manner following completion of the project.

13.
Planned Activities to Achieve the Outcomes:

In order to achieve the goal and objectives, activities have been grouped into six main components as
follows:

Component 1: Project Management

The purpose of this component is to develop and demonstrate the utility of a multi-stakeholder
management system that will continue to operate beyond the life of the GEF intervention, and which will
serve as a co-ordination mechanism between national and local government agencies, local communities,
private sector and even between Trat Province in Thailand and Koh Kong Province in Cambodia.

A Management Advisory Group (MAG) has been established by the National Mangrove and Wetland
Committee and approved by the Koh Kong Governor. This MAG is chaired by the Mangrove Focal Point
from DNCP, and will meet four times per year to discuss project execution and technical issues. A
Management Board (MB) had already been established by, the Koh Kong Governor (Annex 6). This MB is
5

chaired by the third deputy governor of Koh Kong Province, and will meet twice a year to provide oversight
to project implementation. The first national action will be the recruitment of a demonstration site manager
and an assistant by the SEA and Koh Kong Provincial Governor, and the establishment and equipping of a
project office. The site manager and the assistant (in consultation with the chair of each group) will
organise the regular MAG and MB meetings.

Project monitoring will be the responsibility of the Management Board, whilst mid-term evaluation will be
conducted by UNEP in consultation with the Ministry of Environment and a terminal evaluation will be
conducted by, independent evaluators from the region. Annual financial audits will be commissioned via an
international, reputable firm of public accountants.

Bilateral Actions:

In accordance with the proposed management framework (Annex 6), the Peam Krasop MAG will meet four
times with its counterpart organisation in Thailand (the Trat MB) to discuss the cooperative framework and
other technical issues such as indicator and monitoring methodology. Similarly, the Cambodian MB will
meet with Trat Senior Advisory Board on four occasions in order to discuss joint policy and agreement
regarding transboundary management actions. The venue for each meeting will alternate between the
countries, and meetings will be facilitated by, the Project Co-ordinating Unit of the UNEP/GEF SCS Project.

Component 2: Data and Information for Management Plan Purpose

A major requirement in order to develop plans for sustainable use of the area is a suitable base map and
associated information regarding habitat and ecotone distribution, use zones and other data and
information required to make rational management decisions. Reliable data and information are critical to
the development of a long-term sustainable management plan for mangrove and wetland resources and
ecosystem. A base map of the demonstration site will be initially prepared by, SEA START RC from
satellite imagery.

A field survey will be conducted for 10 days by, six people from a technical institution, to collect baseline
environmental and ecological data regarding mangrove and wetland resource distribution and abundance,
the results of this survey will be used for mapping and identifying zones in the site level GIS database.

At the same time, a socio-economic survey will be conducted for 10 days by, six people from a technical
institution in order to collect baseline data on socio-economics, resource use and value. These data will be
input to the GIS database for mapping and identifying use zones; and will be used in the analyses of
present and potential uses, values, net incomes, costs and potential user conflicts.

Once the baseline survey on resource distribution and use has been concluded, a monitoring protocol and
methodology for monitoring biological resources and their use will be developed jointly between the Trat
and Koh Kapik technical committees. Monitoring on biological resources and use will be conducted twice
during the course of the project.

Component 3: Development of Management Plan

When having completed the compilation of data for the site including field data, socio-economics, value,
uses, etc. a long-term management plan will be drafted covering all management issues including
designation of use zones, local regulations, management strategy, monitoring methodology, and
establishment of financial mechanisms for sustainability; will be drafted by Site Manager with consultation
by MB and MAG.

The draft management plan will be subject to a series of stakeholder discussions and reviews. The site
manager and the assistant will organise a total of 4 meetings in order to discuss the draft management
plan. The first three meetings will be conducted at village level; and the last one will be conducted for
higher level stakeholders such as, provincial technical officers, local managers, commune councils, and
people from private sector enterprises. At the end of all stakeholders' meetings, the site manager will
incorporate the results into the draft management plan, which will then be reviewed by MAG and MB during
their regular meetings.

When the plan has been finally reviewed and finalised it will be submitted to the Koh Kong Governor for
adoption and signature. This signing ceremony will be carried out in a big one-day workshop, which 150
participants from all levels of stakeholders attend the workshop. At the end of the workshop, the Koh Kong
6

Governor will sign the management plan. The adopted plan will be translated into English, and published in
Khmer for wide national distribution.

Component 4: Enforcement

When the plan has been approved, the first task will be zone demarcation. The site manager; with
accompany of members of MAG, commune councils and chiefs of villages; will mark the zones for different
levels of use, and agree upon the mechanisms for local level enforcement of the agreed rules and
regulations.

Component 5: Public Awareness and Training

Public Awareness:
The first activity will be the production of 500 copies of posters regarding mangrove and wetland
biodiversity and sustainable use. These posters will be distributed to communes and villages, hung in
public places such as commune halls, schools and pagoda. The site manager will be responsible to
creating the poster, organising printing and subsequent distribution.
Another activity is the production of 5,000 small-size leaflets in easy-read Khmer language with focussing
on the significance of mangrove and wetland biodiversity and how to use it sustainably. These leaflets will
be distributed to most relevant stakeholders such as fishers, school kids, monks, community leaders,
farmers. The site manager will be responsible to create the leaflets, contact a printing house for publishing,
and distribution to stakeholders (fishers and local communities).
Most local authorities do not understand about the mangrove and wetland resources and ecosystem;
therefore, a two-day seminar on mangrove and wetland biodiversity and sustainable use will be held at the
Provincial level with participation of 25 people from provincial government agencies; particularly technical-
relevant departments. This should be done by presentations and followed by a field trip to the mangrove
and wetland areas within the demonstration site.
The most important target group is local people or local fishers. They have to be well understood about the
mangrove and wetland and resources. Five workshops will be held in selected village halls within and/or
surrounding the demonstration site. Very simple and comprehensive presentations will be delivered to
these audiences. Demonstration in the field will also be conducted. The site manager with support from a
Technical Institution will organise the workshops.
A five-day study visit to Trat demonstration site will be conducted with participation of 10 selected
participants from commune councils, village leaders, and community leaders. Dealing with language
difficulty, an interpreter will accompany those participants in order to let them fully understand about the
management activities in Trat. The site manager in liaison with Trat counterpart will organise the study tour.
A seven-day study tour will be organised for 19 members of MB and MAG to the most successful mangrove
and wetland demonstration site in the SCS in order to expose them to the best experience of the
management strategy from that site. The site manager in liaison with that demonstration site manager will
organise the study tour.
Training:
In order to enhance the project's implementation, a training course on project administration and
management and another one on English and report writing course will be provided to the site manager
and 5 other appropriate members of the MB and MAG.
When research methodology is developed and adopted, 20 Cambodian researchers (including site
manager and some local communities) will be trained by an invited regional expert.

Three training courses on the significance of mangrove and wetland resources and their sustainable use
will be provided in three different years to officers of local authorities including district offices, commune
councils and village leaders; in each meeting 25 participants will attend. The training will be conducted by
Department of Environmental education and communication.

More importantly, 5 different training courses on livelihood skills for specifically poor local fishers and
mangrove cutters who voluntarily abandon their illegal fishing and/or cutting down mangrove in order to
7

change their jobs to the ones with environmental friendly such as livestock cultivation, bee keeping,
mushroom growing, motorbike and outboard engine maintenance, etc. Each course will be provided
specifically to 25 local fishers/people by Cambodian Development and Research Institute.

Component 6: Financial Mechanism and Alternative Livelihoods

Financial Mechanism:

The management plan will contain a section on financial sustainability. The site manager, with the
assistance of the MAG and under the direction of the MB will establish a financial mechanism, which may
be called a "Trust Fund". This will be initiated via a big meeting with the most relevant stakeholders and will
involve simultaneous establishment of a "Trust Fund", user fee system, involving payments from the main
users such as commercial fishers, shrimp farmers, tourist operators, and legal charcoal producers.

Alternative Livelihoods:

A portion of the Trust Fund will be allocated to establish a community's credit system. Local communities;
especially local fishers and charcoal producers who voluntarily abandon illegal activities and who have
received specific skill training courses, will be allowed to borrow from the credit system without or with very
low interest for a specified period of time. The site manager, MAG and MB together will be responsible to
implementation and operation of the credit system.

After receiving livelihood skill training course, the certified trainees will be provided with some initiative
support such as seeds and tools in order to allow them to be able to carry out their new livelihood activities.
The site manager will organise the supporting activity with supervising from the MB.

14.
Sustainability Analysis and Risk Assessment:

Sustainability Analysis:

The key to the success and sustainability of the project lies in fully active participation and cooperation of
all concerned stakeholders in project implementation and management. This is the first of all that the
government commitment for resource allocation namely "Prioritized Assemblage" package in year 2007 for
site operations that is an extra and significant cost. It is the national policy commitment for natural
resources and environmental management issued by the Council of Minister. Besides that, the normal
annual package budget of the government for protection and conservation of biodiversity are increasing.

Establishment and development of community-based natural resources management (CBNRM) play very
important roles in terms of sustainability and conservation of the habitats and resources at the site. From
our demonstration site the CBNRM will officially recognise the community role and responsibility for
management of the area. This is positively expected thanks to natural resource decentralized management
policy of the Government and to the decentralised structure of commune council which the CBNRM is the
member. Importantly the commune council has their own budget for commune development and
management of natural resources. This budget comes also from the central government but separately
from the budget of Ministry of Environment.

According to the environment and natural resource management law, commune council law and ongoing
piloting environment management namely "SEILA programme1", the environment trust funds can be
established within the community or commune council. This may imply the polluter/user-pay principle. In
addition the site has potential for ecotourism development, which was already studied and prioritized by
Thailand Tourism Authority. This is the added value for suitability of the project and potential for partnership
with private sector as long term consideration.

Risk Assessment:

Most likely risks anticipated in this project are as follows:

Local communities may show little interest in the co-management of their mangrove and wetland resource.
Workshops and awareness programme will demonstrate the benefits to local communities from their
participation in sustainable fisheries and mangrove resource management.

1 The Seila Programme is an aid mobilization and coordination framework for support to Cambodia's decentralization and de-concentration reforms
8

Illegal cutting mangrove and fishing activities.
Increasing public awareness on ecological significance of mangroves to fisheries production, regular
monitoring resources by local communities, and promoting alternative livelihood initiatives; should
contribute to the reduction of illegal cutting of mangrove, and destructive fishing activities in the PKWS.

Local government has inadequate numbers of trained staff for project implementation.
Training programmes (including on-the-job training) and workshops for local governmental agencies
incorporated in the project will ensure adequate numbers of skilled staff. Some staff (such as members of
national mangrove and wetland committees) are already aware, and understood the concept of, the project.
They have had some background and experience in working with the project.

Future development may potentially impact demonstration site.
The establishment of a Management Board and Management Advisory Group, which members are
representatives from both national and local governmental agencies, will ensure that the government is
aware of the ecological importance of the mangroves and wetland and their contribution to locally provincial
economy through fisheries and eco-tourism. Most of them are members of "National Coastal Steering
Committee", whose responsibility is to oversee coastal zone management and development in Koh Kong
Province. These, planners and policy makers will attend workshops and study tours in Trat Province to see
the importance of mangroves and wetland's ecosystem(s) and take into serious consideration of the
potential impacts of development on these fragile ecosystems. In this case, before any development being
taken place, it has to be carefully considered and advised by this committee to ensure the development is
environmentally sound.

Conflict between management agencies.
All decisions and processes will be undertaken in a transparent manner and will involve consultation with
all concerned parties, with tasks and obligations are clearly defined and outlined, to minimise any conflict
between involved parties. The involvement of other ministries and provincial departments in the
Management Board and Management Advisory Group will be a key factor in facilitating and co-ordinating if
issues and conflicts of interest arise between those institutions.

Project not financially sustainable.
The introduction of user-pay fee, which budget will go to a trust fund for managing the site, is crucial to
ensure financial sustainability after the project is completed. The development of tourism (mangrove eco-
tourism) in the future, the establishment of community fishery and continued support from the government
will ensure the management of the area is financially sustainable.

17. Proposed
Management
Activities:

Peam Krasop Demonstration Site involves joint management of wetland and mangrove habitats and direct
cooperation with the Mangrove Demonstration site in Trat Province Thailand through the joint declaration
Cambodia-Thailand; exchange of knowledge and skills, data and information; and assistance to each other
in addressing illegal activities. Joint cooperation between Cambodia-Thailand will be detailed in the annual
work plans and activities, during the regular meetings for policy or decision maker (MB), and for technical
decision making (MAG) within country and with Thailand. The meetings with Thailand will be twice in the
first year for the Management Board, and then once a year, and for the Advisory Group four times every
year.

At the national level, the supreme level is the National Steering Committee for Environmental Coordination
in Coastal Management chaired by the Ministry of Environment. Peam Krasop Demonstration site is one of
the 23 Cambodian protected areas, which are categorized as Wildlife Sanctuary. The protected areas are
under jurisdiction of the Department of Nature Conservation and Protection (DNCP) of the Ministry of
Environment. Hence the DNCP representing the SCS Specialized Executive Agency will directly monitor
and be responsible for reporting on technical as well as financial matters, and will continue to act as
secretariat to the national mangrove and wetland committees. The SEA will ensure that the implementation
is cost effective.

Local community, NGOs, Community-based Organisations (CBOs) and other authorities will be directly
involved in activities and site staff will be recruited from the local community in line with the principle of
ownership and capacity building.

18.
Information on Proposed Executing Agency:

Referring to the Royal Decree on Creation of Natural Resource Protection on 1 November 1993, the 23
protected areas in Cambodia are under direct management by the Department of Nature Conservation and
Protection, the Ministry of Environment. Therefore, Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary demonstration site is
under the management and supervision of DNCP.

DNCP is one of the six departments of the Directorate General of Technical Affair of the Ministry of
Environment. It was established in 1993 to be responsible for protection and conservation of the natural
environment and natural resources throughout the Country, in particular Cambodian protected areas and
Ramsar sites.

Annex 1. Site Characterisation of PKWS (and Koh Kapik Ramsar Wetland Site)

This Demonstration Site is a combination of two main important sites: Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary and
Kokh Kapik Ramsar Wetland Site.

This site is different from what have described above thank to international wetland system registration was
created as the Wetland Ramsar Site into the Wetland International site. Thus it is internationally recognized
site as wetland site, numbered in the system as 1998. Cambodia's new designations, totalling 54,600 ha,
are the 1997th, (Boeng Chhmar, Tonle Sap lake freshwater), 998th (Koh Kapik Wetland Ramsar site,
Coastal area) and 999th (Stoeng Treng Wetland Ramsar Site, freshwater upper Mekong) Wetlands of
International Importance in the Ramsar List and bring worldwide totality of designated area to 71,220,794
hectares.

Figure 1
Map Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary Demonstration Site covers the area of 25,897 ha,
of which Koh Kapik Ramsar Site covers 12,000 ha

· Geographic Information:

Koh Kong province covers an area of 11,160 km2 and borders Thailand to the west, Pursat province to the
north, Kampong Speu province to the northeast, Koh Kong and Kampong Speu province to the east and
southeast and the South China Sea and Thailand to the south and southwest. The coastline is
approximately 260 km long. The Cardamom Mountain range surrounds one side of the coast of Koh Kong
province while islands and ocean are on the other side. Koh Kong is divided into seven districts: Dongtung,
Mondulsema, Koh Kong, Kirisakor, Botumsakor, Tmar Bang, and Sre-Ambil. Koh Kong has the vast
majority of mangrove forests and important coastal wetland in Cambodia, with some of the last remaining
areas of pristine mangroves in Southeast Asia and a step stone site for Migratory birds.

This is situated in the south of Koh Kong provincial town, and comprises of all areas of mangrove forest on
Koh Kapik Island and associated coastal areas on the mainland. Koh Kapik and Associated Islets are
e
d signed as the international wetland site dated 23/06/1999. This site is defined in to the 1b, 1c an
c
d 2
Criteria with two cl
s of
asse
wetland types: 1 and 4.

16

· Co-ordinates:

Coordinates: 11°28'N 103°04'E with the elevation: 0 - 2 m
Location: The islands lie immediately off the mainland of Koh Kong Province on the Cambodian coast, near
e bord
th
er with Thailand, 15 km southeast of Koh Kong Town.

· Areas:

The total area
00 h
of Koh Kapik is 12,0
a with the perimeter about 61,050 meters.

· Physical Env ronment:
i

Koh Kapik and Associated Islets" (12,000 ha) are alluvial islands immediately off the mainland of Koh Kong
Province. The site is classified in two wetland types (Estuarine waters, and Intertidal mud, sand, or salt
flats) and listed under old Criteria 1(b) and 1(c) as `good representative examples' and 2(c) for its special
value to endemic plant or animal species. The Ramsar Information Sheet reports that "the site has been
chosen because of the representative status of the mangrove system which is common to the region but
under heavy threat in many parts of the country". The area plays a critical role in providing a nutrient source
supporting coastal fishery in the near-shore and offshore of Cambodian marine waters. The remaining
relatively-intact mangroves are said to have assumed increased importance in providing nursery and
feeding grounds for various invertebrate species since the substantial removal of mangrove forests in
nearby Thailand. The area of the site is state-owned and lies within the Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary.

· Water Regime:

Two major rivers flowing into the area bring a freshwater influence and create sand flats in some places. In
particular this site is directly influenced by the sea level.

· Temperature:

Water is a very poor conductor of heat. Heat circulation of water is generally happened by convection as
warmer water moves upwards and cooler water mover downwards. The water temperature in site is around
28-30o C. Regarding the rainfall pattern is very high comparing to other area in Cambodi
nuall
a as an
y
etwe
b
en 2,800 mm to 3,000 mm.

· Soil Salinity:

The soil in the area is alluvial. The islands have been formed by depo
n of
sitio
mud and sand eroded from
the sandstone catchments of the two rivers on the southern slope of the Cardamom Mountains. There are
extensive sand an
me
d so
mud flats. The soil of the islands consists of a thin organic mud or humus layer
verlying san
o
d and sandy loam. The area is strongly influenced by the freshwater surface runoff of the two
rivers. The presence of intact mangrove areas contributes significantly to the stabilisation of the coast
against coastal erosion by storms and tides.

There is no information specifically for the soil salinity, but there is 3% salinity of the ater with
w
the PH 7.78
that can be used as benchmark for the soil salinity for the area as well. Usually the aquatic organisms thrive
in neutral PH to slightly alkaline (PH 8) of waters.

· Water Quality:

Many aquatic organisms need to obtain oxygen from water. Exceptions are animals that oxygen directly
from the air (some air-breathing fishes, turtles etc) and some micro-organisms which can live in the
absence of oxygen (anaerobic organisms). In addition there area usually many dissolved substances in
water, such as mineral salt, organic compounds.

Referred to the laboratory analysis, it is proved that Dissolved Oxygen equal to 4.69 mg/l. This means that
the quality of water is under acceptable condition. This site is in good in term of water quality thank to less
disturbance, remained good forest and especially the no direct in land-based pollution as other sites.

· Environmental State:

17

This is within the Wetland Types of "I, F and G". The site consists of islands with mangroves, and the
surrounding intertidal mudflats and waters in a delta formed by two rivers.

· Present Status:

The site was formulated by the Red or Yellow Podzol and coastal complex with the specific geology of the
Alluvium and sandstone. T
an
he m groves around Koh Kapik Island are bisected by many creeks. Along the
western coastline of the island, there are well developed mudflats, while the northern coastline is sandier.
There is a single village (Koh Kapik) on the island, where the main industry is fishing.

This area covers by water body more than 50 percent of the total area and mangrove forest around 40
percent
goof an
with
d pristine forest. Other is less than ten percent for the Agriculture, Evergreen disturbed,
evergreen mosaic and grassland.

The majority of population living and surrounding site is fishing, logging, charcoal production and
aquaculture. The potential and foundation job is fishing.

· Social and Cultural Use:

The site and the surrounding areas are owned by the state. The area is vital for the local community living
in and around the reserve, by providing charcoal and irewood, tim
f
ber, and fish, crustaceans and molluscs
for consumption. In general, the population of the entire catchment has a subsistence economy. There is a
general environmental education programme covering many environmental aspects including the
awareness of the values of wetlands. There are no information or tourism facilities, but the area is easily
accessible by boat. Overnight stays are possible and information can be obtained from local villagers at the
site.

In the PKWS there are 11 primary schools and a junior high school which located in the area with 17
teachers nd
a 180 school children; and next to the PKWS there are 3 primary schools with 5 teachers and
80 children (personal communication with NTFP). Therefore, 22 teachers and 260 school children are
teaching and learni
different sch
ng in 15
ools within/surrounding the demonstration site, respectively.

· Land Tenure/Ownership:

Land use issues actually become serious because of in-migration the newcomers not stop despite of
fishing job or non-land based dependant. The land title is not issuing because this site is the state
properties but the population have right to access and to make crop or agricultural family based support
system.

The right to access and family/community livelihood development supports were defined as important for
the population following the Royal Government policy such as socioeconomic development plan second
phase 2001-2005 and Strategy Paper for Poverty Reduction of the poverty reduction/eradication. Hence it
is allowable for the peoples living in the site but not for the new comer and additionally they have role to
protect and conserve the natural resources as called community based natural resources.

The forest cutting and other activities concerning the destruction of the natural resour
wi
ces ll be identified
and defined by the community leader before allowing.

· Current Land Use:

As described previously, more than 90 pe
nt
rce
of area is occupied by the water body and mangrove forest.
This is not important area for agriculture and/or land utilization.

Even though there are some small parcels happened for the cropping production system for family
supports.

· Biological Diversity:

Most members of the mangrove community are characteristic of areas which are inundat
r
ed only at fai ly
high tides an
r
d where the e is a large freshwater influence. The islands and creeks are typically fronted by
Rhizophora apiculata, one
n of the m
of the most commo
angrove species present, and stands of Nypa
fruticans. Immediately behind this
y
fairl narrow strip of Rhizophora there is an interesting mixture of other
18

mangrove species of which the following are most common: Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, B. sexangula, Ceriops
tagal, Lumnitzera littorea, Heritiera littoralis, Xylocarpus granatum, Hibiscus tiliaceus, Phoenix paludosa,
Acrosthicum speciosum, Aegialitis sp. and Acanthus sp. Avicennia and Sonneratia occur relatively
infrequently in the area, although Avicennia was tentatively identified from the air on accreting mudflats on
the west side of Koh Kapik and in some depressions slightly inland. Above the high tide mark, the
vegetation is dominated by Melaleuca leucodendron. Other plants typical of this community are Pandanus
sp., Licuala spinosa, Acrosthicum aureum, A. speciosum, Hibiscus tiliaceus, Xylocarpus granatum,
Heritiera littoralis, Phoenix paludosa, Melostoma sp. (in more disturbed areas) and Scleria sp.

There are also several rattan, epiphyte and fern species. At the south-western side of Koh
Kapik and on sandy spots on some of the islands there are small areas with typical beach vegetation
dominated by Casuarina equisetifolia with some Terminalia catappa. The site is also important because it
provides nursery, spawning and feeding grounds for a large variety of (commercially important) fish and
shellfish. It also harbours birds such as Tringa guttifer and Limicola falcinellus, and some endangered
aquatic mammal species such as dolphins.

The efforts have been made via the review all of the documents related to site biological feature,
consultations with the national and international experts and validated by the field verification of the project,
there are some species can be identifiable as following:

· Plant: there are 25 species existing within sites, David et al.
· Fish: 25 species were found, Department of fisheries.
· Bird: 30 species of the birds were clarified by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in Cambodia.
· Mammal: 5 species.
· Amphibian: 9 species.
· Migratory species: 6 species.
· Endemic species: 4 species.
· Endangered species: 5 species.

Importance: The site is a representative example of the mangrove systems that used to be common in the
region. There is a fully developed community of Rhizophora apiculata and other mangrove species.
Mangrove systems are seriously threatened in many parts of the country and in the region. This area has
remained relatively intact. The estuarine mangrove systems play a critical role in the lifecycles of many
organisms by providing substantial sources of nutrients.

2. Information
Dissemination and Consultation:

Information about the project's activities will be distributed to stakeholders using as many means as
possible in order to introduce approaches to the target group to let them actively involve in the project.
Communication at the management level will be done through the MB consisted of representatives of
concerned groups who will make decision and determination in planning and implementing the
Demonstration Site. Frequent communication will be taken place based on meetings and workshops.

The target group will be also informed about events and project activities through direct invitation for
participating in meetings and workshops, and through the distribution of publications. For general public,
information will be provided through personnel interview and focus group discussion; and at the same time
constructive feedback about the progress of project received from the public will be valuable for SEA as
guidance for better future implementing.

A six-monthly progress report will be prepared and used as basic information to inform the public about
project progress and help emphasize key progressive indication. Other public awareness materials will be
distributed via local authorities during special occasions such as beach cleaning campaign, environmental
day, or a traditionally Buddhism festival; are aiming at mangrove and wetland ecosystems and biodiversity
conservation and improving the quality of local population through best approaches of resource
management and conservation.

3.
Stakeholder Participation in Planning, Decision-making, and Executing Activities:

Public participation, especially from local authorities and communities, is priceless contribution to the
success of the project, which has characterized initiatives on mangrove and wetland resource management
20

and biological species conservation within the demonstration site. The project has to put as much effort as
possible in order to give confidence to and promote participation from various local people for the whole
project period, and beyond.

The project will be launched an "opening ceremony day", to celebrate the mangrove and wetland
ecosystem and biodiversity conservation work, in order to introduce the project team and probably target
group about the project objectives and planned activities. The ceremony day will be taken place as a big
workshop, in which all levels of stakeholders will be invited to participate. At the workshop, a discussion will
be carried out to ask participants to identify priorities, opportunities, and particular needs.

During the course of the project stakeholder meeting and consultation, which will be organized to plan the
way forward and make decision on the implementation of activities. Results from the discussion will be
used as synergy for consolidating with other meetings in order to improve the quality of project
management. An apparent implementing plan resulted from a series of discussion of all relevant
stakeholders, will be applied and replicated in other place of the country for the sake of sustainable
resource management and conservation.

4.
Social, Cultural and Participatory Issues:

· The SEA and Site Manager will need to be aware of gender issues during the implementation of the
project. Traditionally and remotely, Cambodian women are extremely inhibited and hesitated in
performing in the public activities. They have to be extremely persuasive as they are the most essential
stakeholders that contribute to the success of the project. Certain project activities will need to be
carefully worked out with gender roles in mind and in some cases activities should be specifically
targeted towards women. This is likely to be particularly important in work relating to substantive
income generation and awareness programmes.

· Majority of Cambodian remote population are Buddhism, and people are respect monk (as well as
elders in villages). In terms of conservation and protection Buddhism is supportive; the project activities
such as public awareness and capacity building should be introduced during publicly Buddhism
festivals. At the same time, elders and monks should be used as moderators or speakers for resource
conservative purposes.

· Economic aspects of this project will be most effective if they are targeted on the neediest in the
community particularly those on low income. However, it is usually very difficult to involve the people
with low income as they cannot afford to take time out from making a living, or because it is hard to
reach them to inform them about an initiative, or simply because they may lack the confidence to join
in. In order to reach those most needy communities, it is required a special effort and commitment from
the site manager and SEA. In this case, village leaders or village elders will be used as a facilitator for
communication and coordination with those local community groups, and a special effort will be used to
encourage them to joint the project.

Annex 4. Monitoring and Evaluation Plan

Monitoring and evaluation is important to detect the progress of project implementation. Results of in
the past will be used for orientation and redirection of the project's activities. To achieve this purpose,
a transparent and logical procedure will be developed.

1.
Collecting and Reporting Data on Performance Indicators:

Monitoring and evaluation of the project will require a set of key indicators of success. Monitoring and
evaluation programmes will be conducted by certain assigned independent consultants. Participatory
evaluation at selected sites and questionnaire surveys will provide key information for monitoring and
evaluation activities. Methods and frequency of data collection will be determined by the assigned
evaluator to follow the donor requirements. The important indicators are as follows:

Improved management capacity of Koh Kong Province with the development of management
plan, expansion of GIS database and more information on biodiversity and resource use of
mangrove and wetland ecosystems.
Established appropriate coordinating mechanism for management of coastal resources in Koh
Kong Province and developed information exchange and management integration with
Thailand colleagues.
Established mangrove monitoring methodology and guidelines.
Annual monitoring of mangrove and wetland demonstration site.
Increased awareness on importance of coastal ecosystems and balance of development and
conservation.
Trained 15 local people to do monitoring of mangrove and wetland resources.
Reduction of litter on beaches.
Reduction in illegal fishing in mangrove and wetland areas.
Clear zoning of areas within demonstration site.
Present and potential future use, value net income and costs identified.
Alternative uses and potential conflicts identified.
Established financial management mechanisms to initiate financial sustainability.
Improved benefit for local communities with more resources in near-shore water for public
fishing.

Mid-term review

Evaluation the Progress by

management board
Evaluation in the end of project

Formally independent evaluation of the project will be carried out at the mid point of the project, twelve
months after the start of the project, and at the end of the project, three months before the termination
date. Both reviews will be led by an external evaluator with experience in environmental conservation
and community development. Each study will take the form of a joint evaluation by project staff and
the evaluator into the management and environmental aspects of the project and an independent
review of community gains and stakeholder participation by the evaluator. Evaluation of the progress
of the project will be regularly carried out by the management board. Long-term ecological and socio-
economic monitoring programme will be also performed by the DNCP.

3.
Description of How Monitoring and Evaluation Activities will Involve Participants and
Stakeholders:

Monitoring and evaluation will be an integral part of the stakeholder participation element of the
project. For each project activity and event, participants will carry out a simple evaluation
23

activity, wherever possible to meet their own evaluation criteria. Stakeholders will be asked to
give their perceptions of the project as part of the formal independent evaluation activities.

4.
Resources that will be allocated for Monitoring and Evaluation:

An amount of budgetary provision has been allocated to the mid-term and terminal evaluations to
cover consultancy fees and expenses for external evaluators.

5.
Using Results from Monitoring and Evaluation for Future and Better Management

A six monthly monitoring report will be presented to the Project Management Board by the Site
Manager, who will highlight key issues for discussion at the meetings of management board. As far as
possible, reporting to the management board will be integrated with reporting to the UNEP/GEF/PCU
as well. The Management Advisory Group will also receive quarterly updates on key issues.
