• The pier and associated facilities will create 2,500 tourism-related jobs through expanded land and sea transportation services, customs and immigration facilities, and expansion of other tourism services in Kampot. Residents of the commune Chum Kriel with a population of 5,282 will benefit from new tourism-related economic opportunities. The salt farmers that live along the access road will benefit from more affordable and reliable transportation options.
• The environmental improvements at the crab market will significantly increase the quality of the beach area by ending the current practice of discharging raw sewage from the market and food stalls to the beach area. This will improve water quality for the nearshore cage storage areas for market and improve the overall aesthetics of the area. The project will improve sanitation and environmental conditions for the 33 shops/restaurants and 300 mobile vendors presently operating at the crab market and expected to benefit upwards of 12,700 people living in the area adjacent to the market area.

The company will implement the environmental impacts measures to minimize the impact of the project including pre-operation, operation, and post-operation.

• Kampot project will provide the budget of US$68,000 for the implementation of the Environmental Monitoring Plan.
• Kep project will provide the budget of US$15,000 for capacity building for environmental management.
• The total cost of resettlement is estimated at US$11,028. US$4,950 is the estimated direct cost of compensation for business losses, US$4,240 is the implementation cost, and US$1,838 is allocated for contingency (Crab market project).
