Instrument Type: Seine Nets
Description:

Beach seines are deployed from shore to surround all fish in a nearshore area. When setting the net, one end is fastened to the shore while the other end is set out in a wide arc and brought back to the beach. A beach seine can be deployed by hand or with the help of a small boat. When the net is set, each side is pulled in simultaneously, herding the fish toward the beach.
