It doesn't look like a very efficient method of fishing to me...but what do I know, eh?

This is a beautiful method of fishing. Very organic and friendly to those involved. People say it's bad for the birds but you don't see that the bird gets a shelter, constant supply of food, protection etc. by helping the humans. This is excellent because it stops things like nets and hooks getting lost in the water and killing everything down there. There are ones where they train the bird to catch and bring it back without choking the food out, then the bird gets fed later.

It's a great way to catch small fish that won't take a hook, in an area where you'll lose a net on rocks and debris everytime you throw it in.

I am surprized that some people have not worked out that a superb example of symbiosis is in action here!
