Artisanal fishing

Artisanal fishing is when people catch fish using simple tools and methods, like fishing nets or hooks, instead of big boats or machines. It's like when you go fishing with your family or friends, but on a much bigger scale.

Artisanal fishing is usually done in smaller bodies of water like rivers, lakes, and bays. The people who do this type of fishing are usually local and fish to feed their families or sell the fish to make money.

Because it is done on a small scale, artisanal fishing is usually more sustainable and doesn't harm the environment as much as big commercial fishing operations. It also helps preserve traditional fishing methods and skills that have been passed down through generations.
