Question

People living on the coast usually depend upon tidal currents for movement on water and for fishing. In which of these areas is the role of tidal currents important for the local people to carry out their daily needs

Answer 1

Answer:

Predicting tides has always been important to people who look to the sea for their livelihood. Commercial and recreational fishermen use their knowledge of the tides and tidal currents to help them improve their catches. Depending on the species and water depth in a particular area, fish may concentrate during ebb or flood tidal currents. In some areas, strong tidal currents concentrate bait and smaller fish, attracting larger fish. In addition, knowledge of the tides has also been of interest to recreational beachgoers and surfers.
