Koh Rong Marine National Park is a national park in Preah Sihanouk province, Cambodia. Established in February 2018, it is the country's first marine national park. It covers 524 km of land and water within it, and encompasses the seven islands of the Koh Rong Archipelago; Koh Rong, Koh Rong Sanloem, Koh Oun, Koh Song Saa, Koh Tatiem, Koh Touch, Koh Manoa Krav and Koh Manoa Knong. The Ministry of Environment is the responsible governing agency.

Important Bird Area

The archipelago has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a significant population of Malaysian plovers.
