Moreover, catching fish one by one engages many people. So it employs a large number of people and is a community, and often family, driven activity”.
Importantly, the Maldivians fish tuna in a special way – they fish by “pole and line”. Put simply, fishermen catch tuna one by one, using a pole, line and hook, meaning that no other marine life is harmed in the process.
