  • Stick fishermen otherwise known as stilt fisherman fishing in the Indian Ocean on 17 April 2016 in Sri Lanka. Stilt fishing is a method of fishing unique to Sri Lanka, located off the coast of India in the Indian Ocean. The fishermen sit on a cross bar called a petta tied to a vertical pole and driven into the sand a few meters offshore. From this high position, the fishermen casts his line, and waits until a fish comes along to be caught. Although the approach looks primitive and ancient, stilt fishing is actually a recent tradition believed to have started during World War II when food shortages and overcrowded fishing spots prompted some men to try fishing on the water. Today, many fishermen rent their stilts to “actors” who pose as fishermen for photographers and tourists.

  • A traditional oyster fishing boat in the Fal Estuary, a method unchanged for 500 years, on 4th October 1994, in Falmouth, Cornwall, England. Oystermen have harvested on the River Fal in the same traditional and highly sustainable fashion, without the use of mechanical power, for more than five hundred years, being widely grown along the whole Cornish coast when the Romans invaded, and by 1602 they were being caught in much the same way as they are today, using thick, strong nets, called dredges. Byelaws banned oyster dredging by mechanical means, forcing local fishermen to rely on wind and tide in purpose-built, sail-powered Falmouth Working Boats. Although most oyster fishermen in Falmouth have other seasonal jobs, for the most experienced and committed fishermen oysters provide a decent year-round livelihood.

  • Two fishermen return to their home port of Tarbert on the western Scottish Isle of Mull. Looking towards the quay that will receive their boat called Prospector and where they are to unload their catch of shrimp, one man is the skipper and he steers the vessel from the wheelhouse while his partner at sea, wears chest-high waders and matching rubber gloves that can handle fish and sea creatures they drag up from the Atlantic waters. The boat has its identifying letters and number on its hull TT25 as well as on the life-ring it carries by law. The men probably support their families and so are the breadwinners - their livelihoods dependent of fisheries policy and EU quotas that dictate how much they're allowed to catch per day/per week. But they are safe after a period at sea and appear happy to have returned with a catch to sell.

  • Fishermen from the Maldives haul aboard a yellow fin tuna to the deck of a dhoni boat in the Indian Ocean. The tuna has been swimming across the Indian Ocean non-stop since birth but after being dragged up with hooks, the 50kg fish will be clubbed to death by smashing its skull with repeated blows. Next it will be gutted efficiently with sharp knives and immediately plunged into ice containers to cool the flesh, reducing the risk of self-deteriorating flushed blood which renders it unfit for consumption under EU law (its live internal core temperature is 40 degrees centigrade). When as many fish have been caught before dark using hand and line method, rather than nets, the boat presses on to the processing factory at Himmafushi where they're filleted and boxed for export to Europe and in particular, for UK supermarkets like Sainsbury's.

  • Two fishermen return to their home port of Tarbert on the western Scottish Mull of Kintyre. Looking towards the quay that will receive their boat called Prospector and where they are to unload their catch of shrimp, one man is the skipper and he steers the vessel from the wheelhouse while his partner at sea, wears chest-high waders and matching rubber gloves that can handle fish and sea creatures they drag up from the Atlantic waters. The boat has its identifying letters and number on its hull TT25 as well as on the life-ring it carries by law. The men probably support their families and so are the breadwinners - their livelihoods dependent of fisheries policy and EU quotas that dictate how much they're allowed to catch per day/per week. But they are safe after a period at sea and appear happy to have returned with a catch to sell.
