Description
This stamp highlights the sardine as an emblematic species of the Tunisian coasts and a pillar of artisanal and industrial fishing. The illustration highlights the seasonal abundance of this fish and its importance in the daily diet, accessible to the entire population. The message carried recalls the close link between the sea and coastal communities, as well as the economic and social role of fishing in the construction of Tunisian maritime identity, long-standing in the Mediterranean area.
