This image captures a densely populated communal fishing event on a muddy brown body of water in Kokani North, Nigeria. In the foreground, a prominent green and brown wooden canoe is positioned towards the viewer's right. It contains five individuals: a male standing on the left, wearing a grey shirt, dark pants, and a patterned cap, holding a wooden implement; two seated males in the center, one adorned in elaborate blue, gold, and red robes with a yellow headwrap, gesturing with his right hand, and the other in a green patterned robe and a red cap; a child in a green shirt and reddish-brown shorts seated further back, near a red cooler; and a male standing at the stern, wearing a dark green shirt, dark pants, and a dark cap with a visible lanyard, propelling the canoe with a long pole. To the immediate left of this canoe, a male in a white sleeveless top is partially submerged in the water. The midground features several additional wooden canoes, each carrying multiple occupants. Individuals are seen standing and sitting within these boats, many holding long poles or various types of fishing nets. One male in a midground boat, wearing a red cap, is observed pointing towards the left. The background reveals a wide expanse of the water body, densely crowded with numerous individuals both in smaller canoes and wading in the water, actively engaged in fishing using nets and bare hands. Large fishing nets are visible above the water surface in the distant background. The water is turbid and brownish, with scattered aquatic plants and debris. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight.
