Social Relations
Community and social cohesionFor fishing communities, fishing is part of a cultural process that is collectively constructed and defined. Often fishing is considered the ‘glue’ that binds the community together, providing a forum for values, knowledge and traditions to be established and passed on.
It’s part of the social fabric really
