⏱ 40 min\\The Live Auction & The People:// Witness the high-energy tuna auction right before your eyes! While you capture photos and videos of the impressive rows of tuna, I will introduce you to the different roles of the people working here—from the buyers to the market staff. Feel free to ask "What is that person doing?" or "How do they work together?" the moment the question pops into your head.

Using maps, illustrations, and videos, I will explain the "hidden stories" you can't see from the surface—such as our sustainable fishing methods, the town's history, and the deep connection between the sea and our community.
