Muro-Ami is a fishing technique traditionally used in the Philippines, particularly in coastal areas. It involves the use of a barrier or wall made of nets to trap fish. Fishermen drive schools of fish towards the wall, where they are then caught using nets or by hand. This method is often employed in shallow waters and is known for its efficiency in catching large quantities of fish. However, Muro-Ami has faced criticism due to its environmental impact. The technique can damage coral reefs and disrupt marine ecosystems. As a result, there have been calls for more sustainable fishing practices to protect the ocean's biodiversity.
