In Indonesia, bowing to the sea, prayer and preparation of seafood were central

In the Indonesian city of Banda Aceh, hundreds of fishermen, their families, and other residents gathered by the sea on Wednesday to celebrate the traditional festival 'Kenduri Laot,' which expresses gratitude to the ocean for providing fish. The event included traditional boat processions, cultural performances, and communal prayers asking the sea to be kind to fishermen. Fishermen typically take a day off during this celebration. The festivities also featured environmental messages, with local authorities and fishermen urging residents not to litter the ocean with plastic waste.

Bias read (Center): The article describes a cultural and religious tradition without taking a political stance. It presents the event neutrally, focusing on community practices, cultural expressions, and environmental awareness without favoring any political ideology.
