Fishermen

Fishermen standing at the stern of their bottom trawling fishing vessel in the Adriatic sea, lifting the trawling net. I was on board MV Leviathan to realise a reportage about this fishing technique that has a very strong commercial value yet a significant impact on the marine ecosystem, revealing the heavy pollution that affect the seabed of that stretch of Sea.
