Trouble at Tonle Sap Lake

By: alanwong () in BU Today

Professor Les Kaufman and a team of researchers from Convservation International and universities in [...]the United States, France, and Canada, have gathered in Cambodia to examine and model the food webs at Tonle Sap Lake, the country's primary source for fish, rice, and protein. With this data, they hope to present solutions that will allow the lake's pulse system to continue as it has for centuries, in spite of the effects of dam-building, modernization, and climate change.
