Fishermen in Galilee primarily engage in fishing in the Sea of Galilee, a freshwater lake known for its diverse fish populations, including tilapia and sardines. They often use traditional methods such as nets and fishing boats, and many also sell their catch in local markets. Fishing in this region is not only a source of livelihood but also a significant aspect of the cultural and historical heritage of the area. Additionally, some fishermen participate in eco-tourism, providing guided fishing experiences for visitors.
