Iwik (Mauritania) (AFP) – Where the arid Sahara meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Imraguen, a desert fishing people, have for centuries developed fishing practices in harmony with nature, a way of life now threatened by climate change, overfishing and the difficulty of passing it onto the next generation. “The Imraguen life we once knew no longer exists,” says Mariam Bilal, a fish processor. “Even if it still exists, what remains is something basic, because they have nothing. There’s no fish.”
