This image depicts a large-scale communal fishing event in Kokani North, Nigeria. Hundreds of individuals, primarily adult males, are widely distributed across a vast expanse of murky, light brown water, submerged waist to chest deep. Each participant is engaged in active fishing, utilizing conical or triangular hand-held mesh nets, many supported by poles. Numerous large, spherical gourds or terracotta pots are visible floating among the individuals, appearing to serve as collection vessels or floats. Additionally, smaller plastic containers, including yellow jerry cans and green bags, are present in the water. Individuals are observed wading, deploying, and manipulating their nets. In the background, a dense crowd of spectators lines an elevated, sparsely vegetated bank that borders the water body. The scene occurs under a clear, hazy sky.
