Touch Seang Tana, chairman of Cambodia's Commission for Conservation and Development of the Mekong River Dolphin Ecotourism Zone, told reporters a new sub-decree on protection of the dolphins has just been finalized and is expected to soon be approved by the Cabinet meeting.
He said the sub-decree covers a 180-kilometer stretch of the Mekong River - from the border with Laos through Cambodia's two northeastern provinces of Stung Treng and Kratie - considered to be a key dolphin habitat in need of protection.
