Institutional and Policy Policy Issues in the Management of Fisheries Fisheries and Coastal Resources in Cambodia — by Web Assistant — last modified November 13, 2007 05:00 AM

ABSTRACT* This chapter raised several important issues on the legal, institutional and policy frameworks coastal resources and environmental management in the country. It shows that a top down approach is still the predominant mode of managing natural resources in the country. The paper also identified important constraints in policy, legal and institutional aspects of natural resource management. Available policies on natural resources management in Cambodia are too broad or too “demanding” in relation to available financial resources. There is also no specific coastal zone policy. The main constraints to the protection, conservation and management of coastal and environmental resources are the lack of implementation of policies and the unclear responsibilities among local authorities on how these policies are to be implemented.
