Bringing in the nets

Myanmar


Bringing in the huge nets after a morning fishing. Net fishing from the beach is commonly used in this part of Burma. Two boats go out drop the nets in a circle and then the fishermen, women and anyone on hand pulls and pulls to gather the nets in. Often men swim around the nets splashing and making noise to coax the fish in the net. It's a big operation and mostly the yield is little in comparison to the time and effort involved.
