Cultura del mar

Cultura del mar, or "culture of the sea," refers to the traditions, knowledge, and practices developed by communities connected to maritime environments. It encompasses fishing techniques, navigation skills, folklore, arts, and sustainability efforts rooted in a society’s relationship with the ocean. This cultural framework fosters respect for marine resources, preserves heritage, and promotes responsible stewardship. Recognized in regions like the Mediterranean, it highlights how coastal communities adapt to and coexist with the sea, blending historical experience with contemporary ecological awareness to sustain both their livelihoods and cultural identity.
