The document summarizes a policy analysis on the Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia that used a Bayesian network model approach. The analysis aimed to develop a balanced policy to maximize economic benefits from fishing and rice farming around the lake, while maintaining social equity and environmental sustainability, as the lake provides food and income for over 55 million people but is threatened by overfishing and development. The Bayesian network was used because managing the complex interconnected social, economic, and environmental factors of the lake is challenging.
