Traditional fishing practices

Traditional fishing practices are time-honored methods passed down through generations, often involving local communities. These methods include techniques like fish weirs, pagers, and netting, tailored to specific environments. They tend to be sustainable, using natural materials and seasonal patterns to minimize environmental impact. These practices often emphasize community cooperation and respect for nature, ensuring fish populations remain healthy. Unlike modern commercial fishing, traditional methods usually focus on small-scale, local consumption, helping preserve ecosystems and cultural heritage.
