Family Fishermen

Family fishermen are individuals or households who rely on fishing as their primary livelihood, typically operating small-scale or artisanal methods. They often work together as a family unit, sharing responsibilities like catching, processing, and selling fish. This approach emphasizes sustainability, local knowledge, and tradition, often supporting community livelihoods and local economies. Family fishermen usually fish in coastal, river, or inland waters and face challenges such as resource depletion, regulatory changes, and economic pressures. Their practices play a vital role in managing fish stocks and providing nutritious food, making their work integral to many coastal and inland communities worldwide.
