The Secret Lives of Commercial Fishermen

Corey Arnold photographs Alaska’s largest and most threatened salmon run—and the people who depend on it Clockwise from top left: Photo 1: The tail fin of a Sockeye Salmon caught in a gillnet while commercial fishing in Bristol Bay, Alaska. Photo 2: Lindsey Bloom, captaining a Bristol Bay gillnetter out of Naknek, Alaska. Photo 3: Arnold hired Billie Delaney in 2012, after getting to know her on other crews. She’s “one of the toughest people I’ve ever worked with,” he says. The 30-year-old now runs her own boat. Photo 4: An abandoned building in Bristol Bay becomes a makeshift home in June and July for commercial Sockeye Salmon fishermen.

"Inle lake fishermen — Intha fishermen of Inle Lake, Myanmar, still use an age old technique for catching fish in the shallow water: they use just one leg to balance on the front of the boat and, skilfully, use the other leg to guide their conical nets through the freshwater lake. Joel has been documented these fishermen in 2015." Photo and Text by Joel Santos

Haenyeo, or women divers of Jeju Island. - photo by Jacqueline Ranit for Montecristo magazine

"...Jeju Island (twice the size as Singapore) has become internationally recognized for its unique land features and cultural treasures. Among them are the haenyeo—the female divers of Jeju. Driving along the coastal road, you can look for their orange floating markers and fishing nets bobbing in the waves. These impressive free divers can reach depths of up to 10 metres as they harvest shellfish such as abalone and other marine life. The tradition dates back to 1702, when women began to provide for the family as the result of a decline in the male population. Today, many of the haenyeo are grandmothers. With an average age of 75, they’re likely the last generation of this unique cultural group."

In the 1960s there were 23,000 haenyeo women on Jeju. But now, only 4,300 remain; many experts believe this generation will be the last. 

Hung S. Kim's photography series: Haenyeo: Sea women from their site: "Haenyeo—or translated literally as “sea women(海女)”—refers to female divers from South Korea and their culture. They can be found on all coasts of Southern provinces, even though most of them reside in Jeju Island. Haenyeo dives to harvest various kinds of seafood such as abalone, clam, conch, and octopus. In coastal regions, where land crops are scarce, and men are often away for trades, haenyeo tradition has been an essential means to support the family. Haenyeo’s long matriarchal lineage extends to at least a thousand years ago, according to written records.

Haenyeo are known for their exceptional ability to dive a long time without any breathing apparatus. Haenyeo dives about five to seven hours a day, holding their breath up to three minutes. The fact that their major diving season is in the winter doesn’t help this risky task. In fact, many haenyeo lose their lives in the ocean. Their tenacious refusal to modern gear comes from a belief that taking only what the ocean allows is the right way of fishing. For haenyeo, the ocean is a respectable yet comforting entity like a mother; they provide an abundance of resources as well as its thalassic embrace. 

Their matriarchal ethics and sustainable fishing practice have been widely recognized as a notable example of eco-feminism. Honoring the importance of this tradition, haenyeo has been recognized as a Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2016. 

Hyung S. Kim & Haenyeo.

Hyung S. Kim (김형선; Hyung Sun Kim) has been photographing around three hundred haenyeo since 2012. He photographs haenyeo right after their prolonged diving. The haenyeo in his photographs stand in front of the white drop cloth wet and tired, which allows Kim to capture their most genuine state. Despite their age—ranging from their sixties to even eighties—the haenyeo appear firm and proud in their handmade diving garments. Kim’s work pays tribute to the strength of the haenyeo and all maternal figures who have sacrificed their youth and its beauty to support their children."
