These two
examples demonstrate that Sre Ambel fishers can and do
engage in fisheries management of the new extractive
reserve, and are able to work jointly with government
officers—two key factors to establishing an extractive
reserve. 95% of respondents claimed the existing policies
and regulations do not work effectively because the lagoon
is open-access which allow majority of outsiders to fish
illegally. More than 75% of respondents in Chroy Svay
Commune revealed that new extractive reserve must
address ecological issues, marketing/economical constraints,
and capacity building at both communities and
lagoon level. Most respondents showed their abilities in
local resources use which is a combination of scientific
knowledge and practical knowledge for the local-base
knowledge application. More than 90% of both communities
(p-value >0.05) shows a common property regime is
needed, that is for new extractive reserve for the whole
resources use
