Group of fishermen contemplating on the meager results obtained after the day's hard work (Benin). In Benin, traditional fishing methods involve labor-intensive techniques such as manually pulling fishing nets. This practice is deeply rooted in the local culture and is essential for the livelihoods of many communities. Fishermen often employ large seine nets (up to 6-7kms long) that hang vertically in the water with floats on the top edge and weights on the bottom edge. The process involves casting the net into the water and then manually pulling it back to shore. This requires teamwork, skill, and hours of physical effort, often working five days a week in tough conditions. Despite the hard work, earnings are low and not all fishermen reach the government minimum wage (about USD 60/month). Despite financial struggles, many fishermen report job satisfaction, valuing the connection to nature and their traditions.
