Learn Maritime Skills: By former islanders and island descendants

Hosted by skilled fishermen from the Orang Laut community, this workshop introduces participants to traditional fishing methods, such as bubu traps and jaring (gill nets).

Explore the unique materials, techniques, and cultural wisdom behind these maritime crafts, and learn how they’ve evolved over generations.

Community members Cik Hamzah (a former Pulau Sudong islander) and Faizal Sani (Pulau Semakau descendant) will share their lived experiences at sea and explain how fishing methods vary by season, location, and target species. Get hands-on and learn the maritime practices of the Orang Laut!
