Hello Hivers...

My post this time is about fishermen setting up fishing nets in the estuary. Fishermen are one of the backbones of coastal communities who depend on marine resources for their livelihood. One of the important activities in their lives is setting up fishing nets, especially in the estuary area where the river meets the sea.

The estuary is a strategic area for fishermen because it is a gathering place for fish from the sea and rivers. This ecosystem is rich in plankton and nutrients that attract various types of fish, shrimp, and other aquatic animals. Utilizing local knowledge passed down from generation to generation, fishermen use nets with environmentally friendly techniques to ensure that the catch remains abundant without damaging the ecosystem.

The process of setting nets in the estuary usually begins in the morning or evening, when the tide is high or low. Fishermen work in groups to ensure that the nets are set properly. They pay attention to the direction of the current and the movement of the fish, often using small boats to spread and secure the nets in the right location.

In addition to technical skills, this activity also reflects local wisdom that respects nature. Traditional fishermen generally understand the importance of maintaining the balance of the ecosystem by not catching small fish or using fishing gear that damages the habitat. That's all my post on this occasion, I hope you like it.

Important Note: I wrote in Indonesian, then translated it using Google Translate.
