SPANISH FISHING FLOATS...
#AbFav_SEA_CLUTTER
Always photographically interesting stuff on the quayside, floats and nets...
Small floats were usually made of cork, but fishermen in places where cork was not available used other materials, like birch bark in Finland and Russia, as well as the pneumatophores of Sonneratia caseolaris in Southeast Asia.
These materials have now largely been replaced by plastic foam.
Glass floats were large glass balls for long oceanic nets, now substituted by hard plastic.
They are used not only to keep fishing nets afloat, but also for dropline and longline fishing.
Often larger floats have marker flags for easier spotting.
These looked to me like the sweets on a bracelet or necklace??? LOL
Thank you for all your words, time, comments and faves.
Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)
