Nusa Penida Culture

The people of Nusa Penida & Lembongan always knew they had stunning waterways, with brightly coloured corals and stunning and exotic marine life. They have been doing subsistence fishing for as long as they have been on the island but now much of that fishing is making way for a more commercial enterprise: water sport tourism. Diving, snorkeling and mangrove tours in small boats is rapidly taking over, if not already taken over, the fishing industry on the island.

History

Seaweed farming is evident all over the island, with many tidal areas around the area covered in the square patchwork and straight lines of the farmed seaweed. Good quality seaweed requires the fluctuating tides that flow around Nusa Lembongan, with high tides and sunshine for growth and the low tides so the farmers can race around harvesting their crop. The crop is then dried and although at times the smell is quite strong, there’s something fascinating about watching the process of seaweed plants being prised apart and spread out on tarpaulins, tables or benches to dry.
