While traveling in the remote area of Gaspesia (Canada) for a photographic project, I saw several abandoned small fishing boats. Locals talked about climate change and the impact it has on the migration of fish and crustaceous. Commercial fishing requires larger and larger boats to go farther away. Fishermen must adapt to survive. This photograph illustrates the results of this situation on traditional fishing boats.
