Murchison Bay, Kampala, Uganda, 09 January 2019 - At a stone's throw from the Ugandan capital, an illegal fisherman refloat his boat, which he hides under trees all day long, in water made opaque by seaweed. Mixed patrols composed of soldiers and fishermen regularly pass nearby without having yet detected his little scheme. He is about to go fishing with a colleague along the shore with a small mesh net prohibited because it allows to catch fish smaller than allowed by law. On his return, he will sink his boat again.
