- Community fisheries and coastal development: the 2022 interviews
The 2022 interview round covered seven community fisheries; it did not include Kampong Tralach, whose representatives were unavailable.
- Plastic waste on Cambodia’s islands, beaches and reefs
In the Koh Sdach waste sample, plastic made up 27% of household waste by weight. This came from 24 participating households over a 24-hour collection, not a national waste estimate.
- What Cambodia’s turtle action plan records about historical sightings
The action plan reports 233 recalled turtle-sighting events from 120 participants across the four coastal provinces, covering 2005–2015. These are not 233 independently confirmed turtles.
- Koh Seh’s coral survey: field measurements from 2019
Although published in 2025, this study measured reefs in June–September 2019. It is a local historical baseline, not a 2025 reef-health survey.

Read seven map subjects in English or Khmer, with March 2023 imagery identified in the English legends.
