Coastal Fishing Communities

Coastal fishing communities are populations living along coastlines whose livelihoods depend primarily on fishing and related activities. These communities often have culturally rich traditions tied to the sea, including fishing techniques, festivals, and cuisine. They face challenges such as overfishing, environmental changes, and economic pressures, which can threaten both their way of life and local ecosystems. Sustainable management and conservation efforts are essential to ensure that these communities can continue their livelihoods while protecting marine resources for future generations.
