Fishing rights permit residents of a specific area to fish in common bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, ponds, or along coastlines. Often, a large communal body of water is divided into designated zones for districts or neighbourhoods, sometimes requiring a fee based on the quantity of fish caught, collected at a nearby fisherman’s hut. The fisherman regularly monitors the area to prevent overfishing and ensure the health of the water bodies. Typically, the fisherman is compensated through a general fee paid by the district or neighbourhood.
