Original report from Koh Kong province
13 March 2008
With catches of crab, shrimp and fish dwindling, fishermen of the seas off Koh Kong province say they worry their living conditions will worsen.
The traditional fishermen told VOA Khmer recently they were facing pressure from illegal, large-scale fishing.
They said they cannot compete with large vessels from Cambodia's neighbors, who sometimes use illegal methods, such as electroshock.
