Damien Roux (39 yrs), fisherman, chats to a passing paddleboarder as he 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) in the bay of Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France, 15 October 2022. He, or his brother Loic, cross the bay to haul in the nets for fish and reset them twice a day, early morning and late afternoon, every single day of the week. 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)
