EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the age-old practice of trek net fishing off Cape Town's beautiful beaches. In this image, a group of dedicated fishermen can be seen pulling in their empty nets from the shore, showcasing the traditional and integral role that this coastal activity plays in both the social and economic development of the city. However, amidst its rich history lies a controversial aspect. Speculation has arisen regarding whether bringing in large schools of fish through trek net fishing attracts sharks closer to the shore. This concern adds an intriguing layer to an already fascinating scene. Photographed at False Bay, South Africa, against the backdrop of the majestic Atlantic Ocean, this picture showcases not only human interaction with marine resources but also highlights how these individuals rely on them for their livelihoods. The hardworking men depicted here represent just a fraction of those involved in South Africa's thriving fishing industry. Yet, as with any resource-dependent industry, there is always a risk of overexploitation or overutilization. The empty nets being pulled ashore serve as a reminder that poor catches can occur due to various factors affecting fish populations. Overall, this thought-provoking photograph encapsulates both the beauty and complexity surrounding trek net fishing along Cape Town's coastlines while shedding light on important issues within this vital industry.
