  • Livelihood Lessons and Consideration for Pmmr in Koh Kong, Cmbodia
    Page 1 of 12 LIVELIHOOD LESSONS AND CONSIDERATION FOR PMMR IN KOH KONG, CMBODIA BACKGROUND Of the five component objectives for phase 1 of the PMMR project, livelihood options proved to be quite challenging. In retrospect, this makes sense, given how complicated rural livelihoods are and how there are no 'easy fix' solutions PMMR had undertaken some grouper and sea bass cage culture, which had not worked for various reasons', and were interested in further exploring ideas. One lesson the team had already learned was that Technical Experts and Advisors could give great sounding advice, that wouldn't necessarily work on the ground. For these reasons, the team welcomed the chance to have someone come down to Koh Kong, with significant field experience, to work with the team over several weeks. Karen Vidler, an Australian mangrove and fisheries expert, had significant experience both in Australia and in the Philippines working with fishers and as an Advisor to various coastal projects. She was interested in coastal work in other parts of Asia, and volunteered to work with PMMR for several weeks. Having a young professional who could take the time to both facilitate classroom lessons and then carry out work in the field was exactly what PMMR needed. OBJECTIVES to explore the idea of' livelihoods to explore potential livelihood options' for PKWS to draw upon lessons Karen has learned from the Philippines and Australia to consider which places in the Philippines would be useful for the PMMR team to do a local study tour. LET THE LESSONS BEGIN After time in the field and a discussion of PMMR, the team discussed four areas that they would like to learn more about: 1.
