At Shah Porir Dwip in Teknaf, local fishermen and boatmen prepare for their next fishing expedition. As the fishing season begins, they are seen sitting by the shore, organizing their nets and carefully mending any damages.
In the soft morning sunlight, some fishermen take a moment to rest while others ensure their gear is in perfect condition. Nearby, fishing boats are lined up, ready to embark on their journey into the deep sea.
Speaking with the local fishermen, it is clear that repairing nets and preparing equipment is a crucial part of their routine before heading out. Since they spend long hours at sea, everything must be well-arranged beforehand.
This scene at Shah Porir Dwip occurs daily, yet each day brings a new challenge. Between moments of rest and hard work, the fishermen eagerly await the right weather and tide, ready to set sail into the vast blue ocean, filled with hope for a good catch.
