Abstract

I come from a family and region of fishers, and I’ve been fishing since I was eight. For six years, earlier, I used a net to fish—the only woman amidst male fishers—but today I mainly harvest blue crabs. I love fishing. When I go “to the tide” early in the morning, I feel well. Just seeing the sun rise or feeling the wind on my face makes me happy. I also try to take care of the environment, quarrelling with those who throw garbage and collecting waste plastic bags.
