• 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 large mechanical structures extend horizontal nets over 20 meters wide. Each setup is at least 10 meters tall, featuring a cantilever with a net suspended over the sea and large stones as counterweights, 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 have become a tourist attraction. 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.
