• Chinese Fishing Nets - Known locally as Cheena vala, these stationary lift nets are a distinctive feature in India. They are fixed land installations used for fishing, formally referred to as “shore operated lift nets.” These impressive structures extend horizontal nets over 20 meters wide, supported by a cantilever system that stands at least 10 meters tall. Large stones act as counterweights, and each net is operated by a team of up to six fishermen. While prevalent in coastal southern China and Indochina, in India, they are primarily found in Kochi and Kollam, where they attract tourists. This unique fishing method was introduced by Chinese explorers in the 14th century, and one interpretation of the name Kochi is ‘co-chin’, meaning like China.
