Family fishing boats are a common sight in India, especially in coastal regions like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. These boats are typically small, wooden vessels used by local families for traditional fishing activities. They are designed to be sturdy and easy to handle, making them ideal for daily catches in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. Many of these boats are handmade by skilled artisans using indigenous techniques passed down through generations. In recent years, there has been a push to modernize these boats with engines and safety features, but they still retain their cultural significance. Products like these not only support livelihoods but also promote sustainable fishing practices in India. |
