traditional fishing

Traditional fishing refers to the practices and methods used by communities for generations to catch fish, primarily for sustenance and local trade. This approach often employs simple tools like nets, lines, traps, and handmade boats, reflecting a deep understanding of local ecosystems. Traditional fishing techniques are typically passed down through families and are adapted to specific environments, ensuring sustainable use of resources. It emphasizes respect for nature and community ties, often incorporating cultural rituals and knowledge. This form of fishing contrasts with modern industrial methods, which may prioritize profit and efficiency over ecological and social considerations.
