Fishing is vital to local communities as it provides livelihoods, food security, and economic stability. It supports small-scale fisheries, sustains cultural traditions, and boosts local economies through trade and tourism.

A fishing village is a coastal or riverside community where fishing is the primary occupation. Activities include catching fish, processing seafood, boat building, net weaving, and selling fish at local markets.

Fishing is a relaxing and accessible hobby that requires minimal equipment, can be done alone or with others, and offers mental relaxation, patience, and connection with nature. It also provides a sense of accomplishment when catching fish.

Fishing is the act of catching fish from natural water bodies like rivers, lakes, or oceans using methods such as angling (rod and reel), net fishing, spearfishing, or traditional traps for food, sport, or trade.
