Traditional Net Fishing in Sri Lanka
Traditional net fishing in Trincomalee involves the communal "Ma-Dal" or beach seine method, where a large net is cast into the sea and then pulled ashore by the coordinated efforts of fishermen and the local community, often accompanied by rhythmic chanting and singing. This ancient practice is a vital part of Sri Lanka's coastal culture, reflecting generational traditions and fostering a strong sense of community spirit, where the daily catch is shared amongst the village.
