- Description:
- On days when fishing is not possible, Rahul Bhalia takes advantage of the tidal movements to catch fish in shallow creeks and mangroves. Fishermen set traps or barriers in tidal zones and collect the catch as the tide recedes. Mud crabs, commonly found in mangroves, are particularly targeted using this method.

- Description:

The peak fishing season runs from September to April, during which the weather is favourable, and fish populations are abundant due to the nutrients that the monsoon washes into the sea.

- Description:
- Rahul Bhalia, a 26-year-old resident of Khar Danda Koliwada, a fishing village, assists his father, Rakesh Bhalia, in running fishing operations. Rahul and his father operate a small boat instead of working on larger trawlers. While trawlers offer safety and extended time at sea, they come with high operational costs. The father-son duo's preference for a small boat allows them to operate at lower costs.
