- Okay, there's about 7 or 8 boats
cranking in chasing us here.
You can see them all, you can hear the noises
from all the boats chasing behind, throwing rocks,
and there's a lot of boats.
6-0-3-9-7-X.
Move, move, move, move, move!
- Hold up! - Move now!
Go!
Your boat?
We're building a new one.
- No.
The Vietnamese come into Cambodia
and take whatever they want.
It's against Cambodian law
and it's just wrong.
- We cannot stop them.
We used to catch big fish,
but now there's only small fish.
In the past we had an abundance of fish
but a lot of it's gone.
It's down to 30% of what we had before.
People are worried,
we can't stop the illegal activity.
Paul is working with local people
to conserve the resources.
His work is good.
- I came here to work.
I wanted to help stop illegal fishing
committed by the foreigners.
- Spine. - Spine Fish.
You can see the red fish more clearly underwater.
- Bengal sergeant fish.
My name is Khem ChorrVida.
and I'm from Paññāsāstra University of Cambodia,
in Phnom Penh.
Yeah.
I met my teammate Rachana
and I show her about Marine Conservation Cambodia
on the Facebook page
and we just made a plan.
- It was crazy like we're on the way to the island
and we contact Paul,
and Paul did not answer our phone,
and we were like, "what are we going to do?"
"Shit!"
We were like crazy kids,
just come as we wish.
- Before we came to the island
we don't know how to swim.
We cannot swim at all.
We learned just, like, a month ago.
- I want to protect the ocean.
it's something that I want to do and
something that nobody's did it yet.
And I want, like, to be a light for them,
inspiration, motivation for them.
Yeah, for the next generation.
And yeah, that's it.
Good morning.
So how are you?
How hot?
So do you do a lot of work
on the illegal fishing subject.
How's it going?
Listen, it's impressive work that you're doing,
let's do stay in touch.
I really wish there was some magic pool of money
I could give to help you here,
it sounds like you've been subsidizing this
yourself for a long time.
I wish I had, too, some other answers for you,
I mean there's...
Did someone say go?
Can you hear them?
Please come back to the dock,
we want to speak with you.
I'm very sorry.
I was on the Vietnam border
and saw fish over here.
So I caught them here
and intended to sell them to feed my children.
This is the conservation area
where we grow the fish.
When the fish get bigger they swim out
so you can catch them outside
of the conservation area.
I use traps to catch fish
and catch just a small amount.
Sometimes the trawlers
come into the conservation area
and destroy our fishing gear.
People can't make money from fishing anymore.
I really feel sad for the ocean.
Jasmine helped me find this one.
Look at that...
Why does the trawler come in
and destroy the seagrass Papa?
I wish...
I hope people
try to love the ocean,
love from the heart, and try to save it.
Doing our thesis on the artificial reef
completely changed my perspective.
You just cannot stop thinking about the ways
to do more for the ocean
and the fishermen.
They keep us motivated
to work harder every day.
You cannot say it's going to change tomorrow
but I think
something amazing is going to happen here.
In ocean, you can see there's not a lot of fish,
or squids, no prawns.
Overfishing.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, nobody cares about the environment.
No one cares.
Money, money...
Right now
I'm working on a thesis about Marine conservation.
and about concrete blocks that stop the trawler boats.
And in a couple months I will graduate.
My favorite is writing. fiction, like, for children.
I will tell the stories why the ocean needs to be protected.
And I hope that they will understand, and change
the way they see the oceans and help to protect them.
Rachana, my teammate, she went back to the Island.
Right now, she's continuing working on her thesis with me.
And she's responsible for taking pictures and seeing
how many fish we have right now.
It's crazy, like, how it's changed.
Like so many life out there.
You could see that there was, like, dolphins hanging around.
because there's a lot of fish for them to, like, feed.
From here to here it's 5 kilometeres.
So they want to keep 500 meters from the island?
Yes.
I understand that this area looks large,
but it's all spawning area for crabs.
What if they cut off the spawning area
for the crabs, or something like that?
As long as they're not cutting off too much, like this areaa...
and not this area.
What do you think of that?
We will take this to the fishermen so they understand.
Alright, time for lunch.
This is equipment that we keep at the other office.
So, when we go, when we jump up to
the boat, they try to fight back.
So we cannot catch them, we cannot
stop them, then they go away.
We have some challenges in our work, like
staff and like, also, money for gasoline.
- Paul, Paul.
What the hell?
This is around 10 boats.
They came right into the conservation area,
they tried to ram the big boat.
We have no idea if they're going to try and come onto the island.
But we're preparing to defend ourselves.
We have no idea what these guys are up to.
Get everybody else here.
Just right here, just in front of the pier. 10 meters.
If they come in you got to hold your fucking ground.
They won't make an inch on this pier.
Sling shots.
This is insane.
They're surrounding us!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
He's coming for us again!
Look at this one, he's coming for us again!
My babies are on this boat!
We can't even get to the island.
They attacked us until we passed Koh Tunsay!
We cannot go out.
We are closed down
in all of our actions to do this,
and if we don't close down our actions doing this,
we will be closed down.
We're not allowed to go out.
If we don't comply they'll removes us from the island.
I don't care if I go to prison,
that means the works is meaningful.
If I can't do the work, I might as well leave the island.
We have to work together as a family.
We have to be strong If we want to get through this.
I'm a fucking Barang.
It doesn't matter what I do. I'm Barang.
- It is what it is.
He wants to know if you can do what you're being asked.
No matter what he does he is still a foreigner.
I cannot talk.
Sad.
Come on Rachana, it's all good.
The more the pressure they put on us, the stronger that we get.
Pretty big storm right now.
There's a ton of electric trawlers
inside our conservation area,
destroying everything.
I don't know if our team is strong enough.
Because sometimes we're tired and
I'm getting scared.
From Preak Tanin.
Always Preak Tanin.
Big, big.
Big fish.
That's my house.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Come in.
This is the writing stuff.
Here.
So, This is about the girl who goes on adventure.
And the title Is about "The Girl and Prohibited Forest."
It's fiction, but it's based on the facts.
And I have a character of the young girl.
Everybody thinks that the forest is dangerous,
and they don't allow the children to go.
But in this story, the girl
goes on an adventure through the forest to see how it looks like.
To tell them it's beautiful and we have a lot of wildlife.
It's like, a good place to live it's, like, heaven.
Yeah, she helps to release all the
wildlife that the poacher captured.
This book is actually for children
But I hope that adults can read too.
Most people in Cambodia think that we still have the forest,
but they don't know what's happening there.
So I'm telling in this book, this is what happened,
this is what the poachers are doing every day
to the oceans.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
It's my pleasure to be here,
to see and meet with all of you.
The Fisheries Administration really supports these
activities.
And we also prefer to expand all these activities in other areas.
Okay, thank you very much and it
was very nice to meet all of you.
Yeah.
I hope that, one day,
I could see the smile on the fisher men's face,
like when they're catching big fish.
And, I just hope that everybody is happy and,
the ocean is healthy.
They're running.
