KERKENA Archipelago of the Charfiya

Blending geography, history, artisanal fishing techniques and cultural heritage, this book is an invitation to discover – or rediscover – Kerkena. Its islands and islets, steeped unique natural richness, are carefully preserved by the islanders. Among their practices is the traditional charfiya fishing technique – a method practiced in harmony with the environment. In December 2020, the charfiya was inscribed on UNESCO’s intangible Cultural Heritage list
