Damien Roux (39 yrs), fisherman, hauls in the line of a fishing net from aboard his family's pointu (traditional type of wooden fishing boat from the coast of Provence) as a paddleboarder passes by in the bay of Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France, 15 October 2022. Traditional fishing from a pointu with this kind of net involves setting nets close to the shoreline and the high number of paddle boarders, swimmers, divers and pleasure boats in the bay make the fishermen's job increasingly difficult in summer (KEYSTONE/LAIF/Rebecca Marshall)
