The seafront atmosphere in the morning is very beautiful and comfortable, located in Blang Paseh sea, Pidie district - Aceh. Tuesday 05 June 2018, may be around 08.00 am. Where on that morning we were entertained with the beautiful scenery and the crowds of people who were there, we saw them very crowded like being pulled something from the sea and it seems that they pull the net, so that makes us curious and approached him.

After we approached and looked closely at the crowds of people directly we asked what they were doing, and what nets they were pulling it? where one of them replied that they were doing Tarek Pukat. Well, then what exactly is Tarek Pukat? Well, Tarek Pukat is a collaboration between one fisherman with several other fishermen in getting income in the form of fish, which they usually do at the time of the morning, but also sometimes some do Tarek Pukat it in the afternoon and also afternoon. This Tarek Pukat tradition shows good cohesiveness and cooperation in one team, indeed this is a good lesson for us, where life can not be done alone, where we have to work together and do it together.

Look at the picture, where it appears that they are working, where togetherness and also good cooperation and high spirit shown by the fishermen, this is really amazing. So from the results of good cooperation creates a good result too, that's the motto of the fishermen in doing Tarek Pukat. The spirit they have, the good cooperation and also the unyielding spirit and spirit that is in it themselves, becomes a lesson for us.

Well, a little I will discuss about Tarek Pukat. Now in Aceh language that Tarek Pukat means pulling fish Pukat, which this activity is done in the coastal area and has become a routine work for the fishermen. Where the first process is done is the fisherman sailed at sea about one mile, then the fishermen throw the Pukat, and while on the beach there are already fishermen who are ready to tie the rope to his waist to be ready to pull the Pukat.

Well, the rope that is mounted on the waist of the fishermen will facilitate them while pulling Pukat, and moreover they do rollicking. Where that ritual is very thick with Aceh culture. It is not surprising because the most westernmost province of the Indonesian island of Sumatra is flanked by the coast.

So that day after day, almost all the beaches in Aceh Pastis tradition is still intact and survive. Where trawlers are thrown into the existing sea of fish there, while on the shore the fishermen prepare to tie the rope around the waist and then pull it in the back way position.

The fishermen are very happy that they are full of happiness doing their work, and their efforts are never in vain, where almost every day they get a satisfactory catch. Here are some photos of their catch in the sea with the traditional way of Tarek Pukat tradition.
