The boats of Tyre return to the sea

After several weeks of bad weather the fishermen go back to the sea bringing home abundant catches.

The artisanal fishermen of Tiro use small wooden boats to carry out their activities. Over 300 families in Tire depend on fishing, an activity that involves men and young people and that was transmitted to them by parents and grandparents.

After the long weeks of storms and strong winds that forced the fishermen to remain in port, they have now returned to the sea to fish and earn their livelihood.

The abundance of catches made by fishermen is most likely due to the strong currents that have led many fish species to move along the Lebanese coast.
