In general, Cambodia's NSAP outlines the country's priorities that focus on:
- Protecting and managing of coastal ecosystems in a sustainable way
- Diversifying local people's livelihoods, and help reduce their vulnerability to hazards by supporting livelihoods
- Bringing best practices and lessons learned from the grassroots level to the national level to prepare policies for development
- Building coastal community resilience to climate change and natural disasters through practical experiences, local knowledge and ecosystems-based adaptation (mangrove replanting and sea grass and mangrove restoration at degraded areas to increase natural resilience to climate change
- "Knowledge base recognition" as a mechanism to engage local communities in coastal ecosystems protection and restoration
