Fishing as a Family

Family-oriented talåya casting campaign that preserves and revitalizes talåya casting through hands-on learning and sustainability education.

  • Goals include strengthening family connections, passing cultural knowledge to youth, promoting sustainable fishing, and building pride and resilience.
  • A series of six family-oriented clinics.
  • Participation is limited to 12 families, and families completing the curriculum receive a talåya.
  • The definition of family is flexible: at least one adult and one child or youth, and up to four participants per family.
