Sierra Leone - Making a Seine net
Sierra Leone - Fishermen making a Seine net. A seine is a large fishing net that hangs in the water due to weights along the bottom edge and floats along the top. Boats equipped for seine fishing are called seiners. Seine nets are usually long flat nets like a fence that are used to encircle a school of fish, with the boat driving around the fish in a circle
