Photograph by George Steinmetz @geosteinmetz Dhows loaded with fishermen head out from Quero Niuni in the Quirimbas Archipelago of #Mozambique. Hundreds of fishermen and their families have set up temporary residence on this islet of sand only a few hundred meters long. They are here to gain access to one of the last outer reefs in the #Quirimbas with large fish, as most of the coastal villages have taken all but the smallest fish. Quero Niuni has no water, and all drinking water comes from the mainland by sailboat, costing equivalent of $2 per 20 liter container, in a country where the average unskilled wage is about $4/ day.
