Koh Ach Seh

Near the Cambodian–Vietnamese border, Koh Ach Seh is as much a battleground as it is a sanctuary. This remote island has become a hub for renegade conservation—where patrol boats head out daily to intercept illegal trawlers crossing from neighboring waters. Around the island, restored seagrass beds and reefs are starting to breathe life into the shallows, attracting turtles, rays, and reef fish back to the area.
