In a sharp contrast to how most tuna is captured around the globe, fishermen in the Maldives catch the popular fish with a simple pole and line setup, allowing for a more selective process. The advantage to this type of fishing – other than looking awesome and incredibly impressive – is that it helps to not impact the population of the tuna since only specific sizes are kept. With a globally shrinking supply of tuna stock, techniques like this Maldivian style can offer the tuna a more certain future.
