The Liger Leadership Academy students are here! Staying with us for 4 days, they’re back to continue their marine surveys, prepare for their big conference and help out around the island! 👍🌴

This month Captain Pete Bethune is staying with us here at Marine Conservation Cambodia, primarily to help us with our illegal fisher issue. Last night Pete showed us an episode of his show 'The Operatives', where him and his team rescued a captive dolphin from Indonesia. #Icried #ThanksButNoTanks

Excited that Captain Pete Bethune is here with us! x.com/petebethune/st…

Meet our new Dolphin Project Intern! Hi I’m Gaby! I am a 19-year-old student from Canada. I initially decided to come join the MCC volunteer staff as part of my final research project for Cegep. #dolphinprojectintern #marineconservation #savethesea

Just before lunch, Sarah and Gaby went out to collect our C-POD (type of hydrophone), which has been out on its test run. Now Neyda and Gaby are clearing it of barnacles, before we can look at the data! #marineconservation #cpod #dolphinproject

Today was an action packed day on our 'Big Boat'. Three dolphin surveys, and 2 artificial reefs built. The team is now exhausted, but proud of a day of hard work, researching and protecting the Archipelago! #marineconservation #dolphinresearch #stopthetrawlers

This weekend the MCC crew defended our colours on the football pitch! We played a tournament in Kampot, with 64 teams coming from all over Cambodia! Whilst we got through Day 1, we were unfortunatly knocked out this morning. Thanks to the rest of our staff for coming to support!

We are building, we are teaching, we are learning, we are diving, the schedules are full, no doubt, this is the beginning of the week on Koh Seh! #conservation #savethewaves #gulfofthailand

What a day! 5.30: Sunrise dolphin survey 9.00: Half of the team working on the new Marine Fisheries Management Area management plan, others making concrete blocks for our artificial reefs and one young lady analysing C-POD data. 15.30: Evening dolphin survey 18.30: Night dive!

Another week over! Full on beach cleans, dolphin surveys, substrate surveys, diveshed cleaning and writing the action plan for the Marine Fisheries Management Area! What will the weekend have in store for the team?!

The Liger Marine Research Team come out to our research base almost every month, to learn about marine conservation and Cambodia's seas, as well as to collect data on marine species and ecosystem health! #LMRT #MarineConservationCambodia x.com/ligeracademy/s…

Today the team are mixing concrete by hand as the mixer is broken! The concrete blocks to protect the Archipelago are needed right away so we couldn't wait! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #marineconsservationgoals #onthegroundconservation

Yesterday was training day for this months volunteers. We started with some marine mammal biology, moved on to previous research in the region, then onto 'The Cambodian Marine Mammal Conservation Project' itself. After that we had a workshop on our data collection methods.

Last Tuesday we captured images of an Irrawaddy dolphin with deep scars, most likely from entanglement in fishing gear. This individual survived, by many do not. Bycatch is a serious issue for marine life, spreading the message is the 1st step to tackling the issue. #bycatch
