Bali’s traditional boats embody centuries of maritime tradition – but they’re quickly disappearing

"Five decades ago, Bali’s coastline was adorned with traditional fishing canoes
with colourful carvings of mythical elephant-fish. Where did they go?

The disappearance of these canoes tells a much bigger story about how tourism,
collecting and coastal change are reshaping Indonesia’s living maritime
heritage – and why preserving these traditions matters."
