Caroline Islands fish hooks

The Caroline Islands are an archipelago of small islands scattered across the western Pacific Ocean. Across these islands, many different forms of traditional fishing knowledge is shared. Utilising time-honored methods like handline fishing, fishermen venture into the waters, relying on their ancestral knowledge to catch a diverse array of marine life.

This sustainable practice not only maintains local livelihoods but also preserves the fragile marine ecosystems that are vital to the nation's well-being.
