The Key to Maldives 'Oceanic Legacy'
How It Started: Tuna Tales
The Maldives is an island paradise known for its sultry climate, pristine beaches, clear water, and most importantly, lots and lots of tuna fish.The island nation boasts more than a thousand species of fish, per the Convention on Biological Diversity. This bountiful fishery doesn’t merely influence their food, tuna fish recipes define their cuisine. The fishing industry doesn’t just create a few jobs, it determines livelihoods. Furthermore, it plays a role in their past and present traditions and contributes to their economy (via Google Arts and Culture).
Most of the world’s fishing vessels may use sound to find their prey, but traditional tuna fishers in the Maldives still favor sight. Sophisticated sonar equipment is less crucial than a good pair of binoculars. Looking out is favored over listening down.
