Support marine plastics monitoring and research in MPAs and coastal areas in Cambodia

Phon Sophea

The Marine Plastic Project, as part of the Coastal & Marine Conservation Programme at Fauna & Flora – Cambodia, is implementing marine litter monitoring and research in coastal areas and key islands of Cambodia, with the aim to create a robust evidence base for informing the development of appropriate and effective interventions to reduce Single-Use Plastic (SUP) pollution at source. Under the supervision of the Research Specialist, the intern will support key research activities as part of an ongoing project of SUP reduction and marine litter monitoring.

“My internship with Fauna & Flora Cambodia provided invaluable opportunities for professional development growth and development. I gained a deep understanding of the organization’s values, vision, and mission. I was also able to contribute to conservation activities, including producing baseline results for marine litter on remote islands and its significance for reducing plastic threats to marine biodiversity and wildlife.”
