Founded in 2008, Marine Conservation Cambodia has been installing artificial reefs to restore the depleted seabed around the Kep Archipelago since 2016. The programme, supported by our Perpetual Planet Initiative partner Mission Blue, has seen more than 1,000 hectares of seagrass ecosystems restored around the islands. The return of seagrass has led to wildlife thriving in the area, including the endangered Irrawaddy dolphin and green turtle. The ocean’s largest vegetarian, the dugong, has also returned to Cambodian waters, years after it was last seen there.
