Conscious of the treasures the sea contains and representing a boundless source of knowledge, people have managed to adapt to their environment and develop unique lifestyles that they now hand down generation to generation.

In India, the sea turns into a mosaic of lagoons and natural lakes, offering the Malayalis a way to escape from misery. In Timor, the sea was traditionally reserved for men, women being dedicated to the land. But with the dewatering of the soil, a group of women, the Wawata Topu, turned to the sea and earned the respect of men. Finally, In Indonesia, the Badjos, an ancient people of nomadic sailors, live freely in lacustrian cities.
