The deepest harvest: the vanishing art of Jeju's sea women

On South Korea’s Jeju Island, generations of women have made their living by diving in the ocean on a single breath to harvest shellfish and seaweed. These free-diving fisherwomen, known as haenyeo, embody a thousand-year-old tradition of strength, skill and sustainability. In 2023 FAO designated the Jeju Haenyeo Fisheries System as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. https://www.fao.org/giahs/en Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=FAOoftheUN Follow FAO on social media! * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/UNFAO * Instagram - https://instagram.com/fao * LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/fao * TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@fao * Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/fao/ * Weibo - https://www.weibo.com/unfao © FAO: http://www.fao.org #SDGs #Agenda2030 #GlobalGoals
