Despite the rainy season, accompanied by strong winds and giant waves, crab fishing continues to meet the consumption demand across Cambodia. On average, more than five tonnes of blue swimming crabs (Portunus pelagicus), known locally as Kdam Ses, are caught by fishermen everyday off the coasts to sell to wholesale and retail vendors across the country.
Provincial authorities within the Tonle Sap Lake region have planted over 85,000 saplings to restore more than 60,000ha of flooded forest land which had been affected by illegal logging, for which 18 people have been arrested this week.
