Why did the arawaks lived near to sea?

The Arawaks lived near the sea primarily for access to marine resources, which provided a rich source of food, including fish, shellfish, and sea turtles. Coastal living also facilitated trade and communication with other communities through waterways. Additionally, the sea offered opportunities for transportation and fishing, which were essential for their subsistence and cultural practices. Their proximity to the ocean allowed them to develop a lifestyle that was closely intertwined with maritime activities.
