The Bay of Kampong Som is a southern bay of Cambodia. Kampong Som has a deep water inshore and a chain of islands across the mouth which protect the bay from storms. Deforestation of Indochina mangroves has become issues.[1] Kompong Som is also the location of Dong Peng and Sihanoukville with its Sihanoukville Autonomous Port, the main and only deep-water maritime port of Cambodia.[2]
