Thousands of struggling moroccan fishermen have to move always further south -from Essaouira to Dakhla in the Sahara- to keep hope in catching some fish, any fish, if any left to catch. In the background, quite close from the shores, huge foreign trawlers drag the waters with their death nets, killing an entire ecosystem, sometimes literally vacuuming it.
