Fishing has been an integral part of Bahrain\“s culture and economy for centuries. The Arabian Gulf waters surrounding the island nation provide rich fishing grounds that have sustained local communities for generations.
Traditional fishing methods using wooden dhows and hand-thrown nets are still practiced alongside modern commercial fishing techniques. The most commonly caught species include hamour (grouper), safi (rabbitfish), and shrimp.
Bahrain\“s fishing industry contributes significantly to the national economy while preserving cultural heritage. The annual fishing season and traditional pearl diving practices remain important aspects of Bahraini maritime traditions.
Modern regulations ensure sustainable fishing practices to protect marine resources for future generations while maintaining this vital economic activity. |
