Sleng Weir, Cambodia 2023

In partnership with Charles Sturt University, AFPS designed, supervised construction, conducted intensive fish passage training sessions with local fisheries, irrigation officials, and students, and had the honor of officially inaugurating the Sleng Weir Vertical Slot fishway alongside the Australian Ambassador in November, 2023.

The Sleng Fishway aims to demonstrate how fishways can mitigate the impact of irrigation development, such as regulators, weirs and dams on fish passage, and will help increase fishing income for up to 5,000 families whilst preserving more than 100 local fish species.
