Workshop process & outcomes

Day 1: 07 May 2015

1. Introduction to the workshop Mr. Mam Kosal inform participants the background of the workshop. Three conservation zones had

been designated and successfully managed with CEPF’s support between April 2011 and June 2013 in

Stung Treng Ramsar site. They are Preah Sakhorn, Anlong Kambor and Kol 46. Under current CEPF’s

Phase II funding two more sites – Anlong Yeay Chim and Anlong Koh Kei - had been identified by

communities for conservation in addition to the existing three. During CEPF phase I, the similar

workshop has held in May 2012 to identify key lessons learned and next steps. Learning from previous

workshop process, facilitator team would change the approach to facilitate this workshop.

Objectives

- Update progress, successes and emerging challenges in management of the area;

- Identify and document lessons in relation to management of the area;

- Discuss current priorities and immediate plan to address them; and

- Discuss potential options best suited for network establishment and information sharing and

learning.

Expected outputs

- Participants are updated on the progress in regards to management across the five conservation

zones;

- Successes and challenges in management of the area are shared among the participants;

- Key lessons learned identified and shared among the participants;

- Participants are informed of the current priorities and immediate plan; and

- Key people and structure for network establishment and information sharing and learning is

identified with community, local authority and other key stakeholders.

Participants

Active members from participating communities, local authority, fish recorders, government staff and a

few NGO partners were invited to participate in this workshop in order to share progress, successes and

lessons learned related to deep pool conservation. The list of participants in shown in Annex 1.

2. Self-introduction and Participants’ expectation This session was facilitated by Mr. Eam Dyna. Participants were asked to pair with who they had never

met before and introduce themselves to each other and also asked a question, for example, why did

they join patrol activity or their interest in deep pool conservation.

Get the information of communities’ challenges and solutions

3. Identification of lessons learned by pool Mr. Mam Kosal explained to all participants what should be called lessons learned and their differences

from daily activity. Building on lessons learned workshop in 2012 when participants were observed to

get confused between lessons learned and achievements, approach to discussion in this event was

changed.

Their potential lessons were categorised broadly into 2 groups: lessons by individual group and lessons

shared by more than a single group and this was discussed in two separate sessions. The first session

identified the potential individual group lessons when participants were asked to work in group by

conservation zone and identify what they like most as their successful achievements or tasks they

deemed their group performed best. In the second session, lessons shared by groups were sought when

participants formed 3 mixed groups to identify their most successful tasks or achievements delivered

together by more than one group.

Results from the first discussion session:

Potential individual group lessons identified:

Kol 46 Preah Sakhorn Kambor Yeay Chim Koh Kei

- Site Identification process; - Patrolling

- Collaboration with relevant authorities; - Meeting to discuss community network;

- Site identification; - Patrol team formation; - Site identification and boundary

- Formation of a management team; - Collaboration with authorities;

- Site identification; - Boundary marking

- Management planning

marking

Each group was then facilitated to elaborate on an identified lesson learned through story telling.

Anlong Kol 46: Effective patrolling

Have clear patrolling plan, good team with clear assigned tasks

Active patrolling team and patrol not only the pool proper

Have clear strategy to patrol:

Have clear patrol plan but keep it confidential and also act swiftly on tip off by

informants (villagers or fishermen) about the locations and number of persons

involved in illegal fishing)

Use soft approach to negotiate and arrest perpetrators as appropriate

Use life jacket and flash light while on duty to ensure safety

Once arrested, inform the offenders of the violations they committed and (article

11— para 9 of the fisheries law) and (article 61— para 6, Environmental Law) and

prepared minutes and/or require them to sign on agreement to stop such act in

the case that the offense was committed for the first time.

Put no-fishing signs and flags to inform the boundary of deep pool conservation

Doing patrol in group to enhance safety and also have some members standing by on

shore in case assistance is needed.

Ensure diverse stakeholder groups engage in each patrol, for example village chief,

commune councillors and other relevant authorities.

Preah Sakhon: Good planning

Clear identification zone for conservation

Inform local villagers of the area for conservation

Securing agreement on site for conservation

Identification and selection of patrol team and then secured endorsement by local

authority and local government officials

Prepare patrol roster for sharing by 5 involved communities (O’Svay, O’run, Kralapeas, Koh

Chheuteal Touch and Voeun Sean) and for participation of Ramsar site rangers, local

police, FiAC and/or village guards

Keep patrol plan flexible and to respond to tip off, whether for day or night time;

Securing enough patrol members and collaborators from other communities and logistic,

boat in particular, for each patrol event

Establish a patrol post and markers;

Only patrol members on duty would be entitled to receive support if available

Clear plan for awareness raising with fishers on conservation provisions and inherent

regulation

Regular monthly meeting of patrol team to review and revise patrol plan as needed

Q: What would be an ideal situation for a successful patrol?

A: Collaboration offered by other stakeholder groups such as presence of commune councillor and/or

village guards in the patrol per se, their reflection in monthly meeting and their swift response to tiff off

on illegal fishing is a driver for success.

Anlong Kambor: Site identification process and information dissemination

Conducted consultation meeting between local authority and villagers to identify location

of deep pool for conservation (2012)

Deep pool demarcation (Kambor Phot to Neakta Phabang)

Disseminated community and fishers at fishing grounds and at village meeting on rule and

site for conservation

Put flags to mark the boundary to deep pool conservation

Patrolling planned developed and followed

Regular meeting between patrol team, committee and local authority to share

information, issues, solutions and planning

Q: How flags are practically erected to ensure visibility?

A: Flags have to be tied up to tall trees that can stand the swift current in the wet season and are easily

visible to passer-by.

Q: How to ensure meetings are participated by relevant stakeholders and community members?

A: The practice in the community is to have village chief convene meeting and he himself has to invite

for members to attend. Villagers do not respond to meeting convened simply by patrol team.

Q: Why patrol has to follow a plan?

A: It is easy to follow up and every patrol team knows their own schedule for patrolling. However,

schedule of patrol sometimes has changed based on special cases. Cases of violent the management

rule happened the Kambor Deep pool like they did fishing in deep pool by using gillnets or hook lines

during absence of patrol team. So Kambor has collaborated with Khe to collect fishing gears from the

pool and make agreement to follow the management rule and gave the fishing gears back to

fishers/community.

Anlong Koh Yeay Chem: Formation of a management committee

Village chief help identify name of candidates who can read and write (Educated person),

and who take responsibility (dare to accept critics and learns from mistakes)

Candidates are selected through a participatory process in which candidates are selected

in an open community election and the same process applies for selecting a replacement

Community defined and agreed to in the first place such as strong commitment to serve

community interests and support from family members, and/or members who had attend

meetings or any capacity building events so that they are familiar with the concept and

practices of participatory process

A clear defined role for the committee including on awareness raising on rule and

regulation of the relevant laws and community regulation and management plan

Serious effort to offer education and awareness raising to other community members to

stop illegal fishing through:

local authority’s monthly meeting (commune councillors and commune committee

for women and children who organize monthly meeting one a month to update and

share issues, solutions and planning)

Commune Development Plan

Commitment to building good relationship with local authority (formal or informal inter-

communications).

Q: Why did village chief involve identifying committee? Based on By-law on community fisheries, only

CFi congress participated by 80% of members would be able to select and elect committees.

A: Generally, village chief helped in identify key person in village but not in the election that is done by

CFi members.

Q. What factors drive committee motivation?

A: Generally opportunity to capacity building, networking, and exchange of ideas.

Anlong Koh Kei: Side identification and boundary demarcation

Anlong KohKei is rich of fisheries resources, deep pool, and located in the migratory channel for fish.

From December to March and May to July, approximately 20-30 floating fishing boats a day using drift

nets to catch all kind of fishes. Recently, fish declined was reported based on Mr…. village chief of Koh

Kei village and a former fish trader said that “From 2002 to 2005, fish in Anlong Koh Kei was abundant as

I could buy approximately 200kg/day. Now fish was decreased as fishers were difficult to catch fish both

for consumption and for sale. Only in peak drift net fishing nets season (June to July), when we can catch

some fish with surplus for sale.”

Koh Kei Community Fishery was established with the support from CEPA. In 2011, CFi was formally

registered with MAFF. Unfortunately, CEPA supported CFi project was phased out while community was

not strong enough and could not implement the management plan on its own and did not know how to

start working independently.

By learning from experiences from other communities like Preah Sakhon, Kambor and Anlong Kol 46,

Koh Kei CFi approached WorldFish and FIAC to seek ideas and resources and explore legal framework to

develop and implement deep pool management in order to improve fishery resources. Building on the

current knowledge from fishing practices a deep pool on the Mekong mainstream was designated for

conservation by four communities - Koh Sneng, Koh Sralao, Koh Kei and Chamthom.

The site identification was participatory and built on existing knowledge from on-going fishing practices.

The community first identified in a meeting in Koh Kei village the potential for the area to be designated

for protection and then the proposal was presented in the meeting in Koh Khondin where other

communities also presented their plans with justification for selection to receive support.

Then local dissemination was made to inform local communities about identification of the deep pool

for conservation to generate their interest and support. This was done with all villages surrounding the

site (i.e. KohKei, ChamThom, Koh Sneng and Koh Sralao) through village events and village monthly

meeting facilitated by village chief.

Some fishermen disagree with the proposal for the area to put for conservation as they used to fishing

in that area. Local authority and CFi had convinced them with explanation on the need and benefits

from the initiative, and eventually substantial support from the community members was secured.

In the last meeting at Koh Khordin, communities presented cases on four deep pools - Anlong Koh kei,

Anlong Koh Yeay Chem, Anlong Tathav and Anlong Phoum Thmey – as potential for designation and to

receive project support. Using developed and agreed criteria, each case was defended and finally two

deep pools - Anlong Koh Kei (in Koh Sneng Commune) and Anlong Koh Yeay Chem (in Samaki commune)

– were selected by through consensus by the participating community representatives.

Results from the second discussion session:

Participants were divided into 3 mixed groups with participants from all the 5 conservation zones to

discuss shared lessons across the area plus a group to discuss lessons in fish recording.

Group 1: Collaboration between Khe and O’svay communities to combat illegal fishing

Good relationship is built with selected fishermen to be informants who provide information

on illegal fishing by telephone call;

Quick action in response to information on offenses, while communication with Preah

Sakhon patrolling team is maintained; this is challenging for Kambor patrol team as phone

signal is weak;

Have other patrol members on standby when on joint response (rangers, local police

officers, local authority, FiAC…) with patrol equipment as needed;

Use at least 5 community boats in response to information on illegal fishing to help each

other in eventual circumstance for the terrain is rough – rocky rapids, flooded forest or

whirlpools, and eventual threats from offenders;

Prepare report and submit to FiAC, Department of Environment and supporting NGOs.

Q. How long does it take to mobilize other community in a response action?

A. It does not take much time to mobilize the response team as we have them on alert such as village

guard, police, rangers and local authority. We coordinate for Preah Sakhon patrol team to chase

offenders from upstream and in the means time Khe patrol team comes from downstream. However, it

is difficult for Kambor team to join hand due to weak phone signal.

Group 2: Collaboration between patrol teams at different pools to combat illegal fishing

People tip off the identity of potential offenders, e.g., the route of potential illegal fishing,

the boats involved, and the number of boats and occupants;

Engage fishing as informants and conduct covered investigation with fishers;

Patrol team requests support from local police force, rangers or village guard to joint in

patrol and responses;

Designated some rendezvous for patrol team to meet;

Involve police force when handling armed offenses;

Assign roles for patrol members beforehand to different task in case offenders are

apprehended;

Applying softer approach for first time offenses, and tougher for repeated offenses, ranging

from verbal warning and sign on agreement not to repeat another offense to monetary fine,

confiscation of gears and file the case to court with the last two options done by members

from competent authority.

Q. As a ranger, what were your contributions to join patrolling? Why?

A. Rangers participated in all patrol events, day and night, whenever illegal fishing happens. Like

fisheries officials, rangers are authorized to handle legal procedure against illegal offenders.

Q. What are pros and cons for some CFi members are also get employed as ranger? Does conflict arise

between the two roles?

A. We have been CFi members but were recently got employed as ranger. Our uniform tells our status

while on duty. The new designation does reinforce the on-going status as CFi patrol members in

deterring illegal fishing.

Q. Do you get any threats from illegal people as you involve actively in controlling illegal fishing?

A. We get all kinds of threats from offenders because our work compromises their businesses. We

suggest that NGOs or other agencies help build their livelihood capacity and life skills such as growing

vegetable, chicken raising… so they turn to other livelihood activities and relive pressure from the

resources.

Group 3: Collaboration between patrol team across the conservation area

We have patrol members attended training workshop and involved in prepare joined patrol

plan

Telephone call is used to communicate for tipping off on illegal fishing and on response

Good collaboration with commune authority is secured to provide legal and administrative

support on patrol and on handling offenses

Police always joined in the patrol activities on calls

Community patrol team members stay alert and stand by in case of call for help

Commune authority allows for use of its boat in patrol and DoE also allows for use of boats

confiscated from illegal fishing in patrol in addition to accessing to using private community

boats.

Group 4: Fish record group

Advantages from fish recording:

Understand the trend of fish catch

Know the status of fish by type and by total amount of catch

Allow us to know how much fish was consumed?

Allow us to know about type of fish catch and seasonal fish migration

Pay more attention in fishing and to learn type of fish catch

It is an easy task and not much time required to record data

Who should be selected to do fish recording:

Should select regular fishermen to record fish data

Who use to attend meeting or workshop or training feel easy to record fish catch data

What to do with the fish recorders:

Should have an introduction to the form used for recording;

Would like to have a refresher training or coaching on how to record fish catch data

Should share back the analysed data of fish catch with trend

Q. It is challenging to engage local fishers to do recording as: 1) they do not engage as all season fishers,

and 2) a research project provides USD 40 a month as incentive to community member to collect data.

How to deal with this?

A. We request fishers to do fish recording on a volunteer basis and the work is simple as they can do

once they go on fishing. They can do as they see it as an advantage to them and to the community. The

Science-capture project selected only few community members to recorder fish catch and pay them

monthly. The task is complicated involving recording all kind of fish caught, and fish tail, measurement,

name and coding have to be taken for lab analysis. The requirement by the project is much heavier that

is why they are paid to do so.

Recap the lessons learned and guidance for future lesson

Mr. Mam Kosal provided a summary of the workshop results as follows:

The approach adopted for this workshop is different from what was used last time as it uses

story telling about what the participants deemed most successful and liked rather than direct

asking for lessons learned.

This has also involved changes in the ways you do your tasks as the nature of offenses also

changes, and the ways you solve the new challenges.

We learned a lot from you during the workshop and we hope that in addition to the lessons you

identified you also learn some facilitation skills and get ideas on how to prepare for such an

event in the future.

There are at least two broad lessons you learned from the discussion sessions: individual group

lesson as discussed in the morning, and lessons learned from collaborative works as you

discussed in the afternoon.

4. Review progress again plan Participants were divided in to 5 groups by conservation zone to answer three key questions:

What actions had been done and/or are still on-going?

What actions in the plan remain to be done?

What actions should be done but are not in the current plan?

Day 2: 08 May 2015

Q. Why do Anlong Koh Kei group plans for establishing a deep pool management committee?

A. Anlong Koh Kei is large and its management involves four communities. A management committee is

thus needed to facilitate better coordination.

Q. How does Anlong Koh Yeay Chem community plan to generate income?

A. We plan to borrow money from savings groups to invest in small business and use a part of profit to

support patrolling activity. Moreover, we will collect membership fee as stipulated in the CFi by-law

(KhR500/member/year)

5. Overview of progress with the lesson learning networking and work plan Mr. Eam Dyna shared a presentation on process and progress with the development of a network for

information sharing and learning. See the presentation in attachment for details. Overview of progress

with the lesson leaning networking and work plan.pptx

By this end of this presentation, all participants were divided into 4 group discussions which separated

as following:

Community groups - Who could be focal person

in each community? - How information should

be generated and shared? - What skills are required to

operate this network?

Community Group 1 1. Suggested focal person in each community

O’Svay: Mr. Chum Cheub O’Run: Mr. Samreth Tha Kralapeas: Mr. La Khon Voeun Sean: Mr. Him Ry Koh Chheuteal Touch: On IV Khe: Hor Pengly

2. Information can be generated through: Phone, fishermen when they see the illegal fishing Formal Meeting to collect information among working

group from 6 villages Site visit and meeting with fish data recorders

Information can be shared by: Village meeting, Village ceremony, and commune

meeting Network meeting Phone Informal talking

3. Required knowledge and skills: Information and data collection, their management and

sharing Skills in organization and management of network Community mobilization skill Development of a network action plan

Community Group 2

1. Suggested focal person Community leader should be a focal person Koh Khondin: Mr. Sao Ry, deputy community fishery

committee; Mr. Keo Sarath, patrol person Koh Sneng: Mr. Say Sopheap, Member of community

fishery; Mr. Chhoum Nhim, deputy of community fishery committee

Koh Kei: Kham Khaev, patrol person; Sy Sou, leader of patrol team

3. Capacity building: Skill to generate information and information

management Report writing skill Develop a plan for information sharing

National Government and NGO group

- What on-going/functional networks are in place in the community?

- How the network should operate to be sustainably functional?

1. Current networks in place: Community fishery Community forestry Village Animal Health Volunteers Village Human health volunteers Non-government organization Youth volunteer group Savings groups

2. Network operation: Community Fishery Network has a good relationship and regular connection with fishermen, ranger, FiAC and commune councillor

3. Proposed structure of network

Information can be channelled, for example, from Community (CFi, savings groups) to the commune through

village chief and then to district governor and through to provincial unified task force in their monthly meeting

It can also be shared from CFi to Provincial Fishery Administration Cantonment (FiAC), also through environmental rangers to provincial Department of Environment and both of them have representation at the provincial unified task force.

Local Authority - What networks are on-

going/functional network are in place in their area and how they function?

- Who could be focal person in each community?

- How information should be generated and shared?

1. Functional networks in the community Community fishery Community forestry Community-based Ecotourism Salaphoum Savings groups Health Village-commune safety

2. Potential focal person: Koh Khondin: Mr. Mao Sareth and Ms. Sieng Khunmeng Koh Sneng: Mr. Lean Sokhom and Than Porng Khamphan: On Chuon and Khen Buolai Chamthom: Prum Mab and Srey Raem Koh Heb: Sy Ly and Than Hvan Koh Kei: Hem Chanthon and Khun Rin Koh Chheutealtouch: On Iv and Nivy O’svay: Im Thoeun and Men Sakin

3. Information can be generated and shared through focal persons

4. Network structure should design from the village, commune, district and province level

5. Arrangement of roles and responsibilities of focal person according to rank, designate and purpose of network

6. Review again expectation and comments by participants Mr. Eam Dyna asked participants to review back to the expectations that created on the day 1 and what

did they learn from one and a half day workshop.

Comments from participants:

Management in Ramsar site

learned about key actions in the management plan and lessons from patrol

Different communication across the conservation zones by patrol teams

A network is being organized to manage and protect the Ramsar site

Communication and better know each other

Opportunity to see and interact with new faces - CFi committee, rangers, FiAC and

environmental officials from different villages.

Improvement of workshop process

Local authority:

How to facilitate and manage group discussion for a meaningful outcome

Learned that cross pool groups discussion provides opportunity to interact with people not

necessarily met or worked with before thus allowed for sharing

Government official:

Smaller group discussion would make ensure inclusive discussion but takes time

NGOs:

The workshop process was good but more time should be provided for self-introduction so

people know each other more

More women should be engaged.

Community:

Have the opportunity to engage actively in the whole workshop process

A rule should be established to avoid distraction for example by phone calls.

7. Conclusion and closing by Ms. Yumiko Kura Ms. Kura recalled the activities the participants engaged for the whole workshop including participants

identifying achievement and what worked well and what did not. She appreciated the role play by all the

participants in activities on the ground. She also shared the contribution she made in having the project

in place through shaping proposal and negotiating with donor. While noting the task is challenging as we

have to answer to many questions donors have she acknowledged that field activities as even more

challenging. She also urged participants to share their experiences from this workshop with their couple,

relatives or friends. At the end she affirmed that such workshop will be organized regularly and with this

she looked forward to meeting the participants again.
