Kampot Mangroves.

Centered around the Trapeang Sangke community, this active conservation site offers a rare, unvarnished look at Cambodia’s coastal restoration efforts. Rather than a polished eco-resort, the Kampot Mangroves are a working wetland and crucial marine nursery run directly by local fishing families. Visitors can navigate the tidal waterways by traditional longtail boats to see where young saplings are replanted to combat regional habitat loss. The experience is defined by its simplicity—stilted wooden huts, quiet waterways, and the chance to plant a mangrove seed yourself. Because tourism proceeds directly fund seed purchases and community salaries, a visit here goes beyond simple sightseeing, serving as a direct contribution to the survival of the river's fragile ecosystem.
