The Project: (1) Protection and Management of the Mekong River Water Deep Pools in Kratie and Stung Treng Provinces for Sustainable Fisheries Utilization of the Mekong River Member Countries and (2) Promoting an Effective Regional Strategy for Combating Illegal, Unreported and Unregistered (IUU) Fishing) and WW-Cambodia

Terms of Reference: A company shall be responsible for setting up a monitoring system to monitor fishing activities and daily dolphin movement within the Kampi dolphin core zone. Specifications of automatic cameras and supporting devices/equipment are listed in table 1.

Background

During this exchange visit to China from 3 to 9 June 2025, delegation of Cambodia was impressed with a monitoring system to view fishing activities, ship/boat navigation and daily dolphin movement and socialization along the Yangtze River.

Monitoring system using a modern camera and a number of supporting equipment/devices, is a key method which can be adapted along the Mekong dolphins’ range, significantly contributing in showing images of fishing activities, boat navigation across the dolphin core zone and daily dolphin movement. The images obtained enable river guards to provide immediate intervention, which will significantly contribute in reducing cost for daily patrol of river guards.

Recognizing a need for installing this software monitoring system, the Department of Fisheries is pleased to announce a selection of an experienced company to bid for installation of this software monitoring system at Kampi modern office in Kampi village, Sambok commune, Chat Borei district of Kratie province.
