National Day
Created by the artist Safia Farhat, this stamp highlights the vital importance of fisheries resources for Tunisia, a maritime land par excellence. The rich artistic composition juxtaposes a modern trawler with a variety of marine species (fish, rays, corals), under the gaze of a male figure holding a trident, an evocation of human mastery over the seas. The message highlights the strategic role of fishing in the national economy, food security and coastal crafts. It is a celebration of the Mediterranean as a source of life and prosperity, calling for sustainable exploitation of its treasures.
