Koli Fishing
Koli Fishing is a traditional fishing method practiced by the Koli community, primarily found along the western coast of India. This technique involves using small boats called dingi to catch fish in shallow waters. Fishermen often employ nets, traps, and sometimes even handlines to capture various species, including pomfret and prawns.
The practice is not only a source of livelihood for the Koli people but also an integral part of their cultural heritage. Many Koli fishermen rely on sustainable methods to ensure the health of marine ecosystems, passing down their knowledge and skills through generations.
