The unsung heroes of the sea | By - Anastasia White
Photo Location: Calliaqua Fish Market
Photo Description: I ended up at the Calliaqua fish market and started snapping pictures of fishermen in their element. While taking pictures of them I learnt so much about, how everyone had different roles and how they also play an important part in ensuring food security. The excitement and passion they spoke with as they educated me on their reasons for becoming a fisherman and how they ensure that they’re being good steward of the environment. Managing the coasts, tracking ocean health , advocating for certain marine areas to be protected & passing down the information they learned from their forefathers, they continue to protect and preserve the environment that provides not only them and their families, but the community with the products of their labor. It’s important to highlight the individuals who don’t publicly show the work they do behind the scenes. The unsung heroes of the ocean: Fishermen.
