Fishermen use these cork sheet boats, capable of carrying 6 to 8 people, for single-day fishing trips at sea. Skilled artisans meticulously craft these boats from wood, bamboo, and cork sheets. Boat builders are diligently building new cork sheet boats, anticipating lifting the fishing ban in just seven days. Tarek, a seasoned boatmaker, shared, “Before setting out to sea, we pay special attention to testing the engine because the safety of everyone onboard depends on it.”
