Drag nets are one of 10 types of fishing gear permitted for use by Indonesian fishermen under the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Regulation, which aims to protect small-scale fishermen and preserve the environment. The rope used is 2,000 meters long, with a 500-meter net pulled by 15-20 people working together in traditional ways. (Photo by Ardi Septian/NurPhoto)
