Boat-based surveys

​​

KOL uses distance sampling and photo-ID techniques to estimate the abundance and distribution of focal species.  Boat surveys are part of ongoing studies to assess population trends and seasonalities in Kampot. KOL collaborates with local fishing communities to be boat captains for these surveys. KOL has partnered with PhD student Sarah Tubbs at Newcastle University to conduct a coastal-wide investigation into marine mammal abundance in 2024.
