The article discusses the different fishing methods and gear used in the southern marshes of Iraq, which are unique compared to rivers and coastal areas. These methods have been passed down through generations and are specific to the Marsh Arabs. The goal is to provide an overview of how fishing is done in this region for future comparison with other areas.
