• Chinese Fishing Nets - Known locally as Cheena vala, these stationary lift nets are a unique fishing method in India. They are fixed land installations used for fishing, formally referred to as shore-operated lift nets. These impressive structures feature horizontal nets spanning 20 meters or more, supported by mechanical contrivances. Each setup stands at least 10 meters high, with a cantilevered net extending over the sea and large stones acting as counterweights, operated by a team of up to six fishermen. While prevalent in coastal southern China and Indochina, in India, they are primarily found in Kochi and Kollam, where they have become a popular tourist attraction. This fishing technique is rare in India and almost exclusive to this region, introduced by Chinese explorers in the 14th century. One interpretation of the name Kochi is ‘co-chin,’ meaning ‘like China.’
