Navigation in sailing boats, amongst which the dhow and the mtepe are especially noteworthy, developed thanks to commercial routes which criss-crossed the Indian Ocean, taking advantage of the various Monsoon winds. Nowadays, the dhows continue to be built in the traditional manner, although their role has been relegated to transport in short distances and to fishing, one of the most important coastal economic resources.
