EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the ever-changing tides of Morecambe Bay in Cumbria, England, the traditional occupation of shrimp fishing continues to thrive. In this evocative image from 1993, local fisherman Bob Dickinson is seen meticulously riddling sand from freshly caught cockles he has just dug from the bay's rich and fertile shores. The nineties were a time of great significance for the region's shrimping community, as they continued to rely on the bountiful resources of the bay to make a living. Morecambe Bay, with its expansive tidal flats and diverse marine life, has long been a source of livelihood for generations of fishermen like Bob. The bay's unique tidal conditions create an ideal environment for various species of shrimp, cockles, and other shellfish, making it a popular destination for those seeking fresh and sustainable seafood. As the tide recedes, revealing the mudflats, the shrimp fishermen, including Bob, make their way out to the bay, armed with their rakes and baskets. They spend hours sifting through the sands, carefully separating the edible shellfish from the unwanted debris. The process is labor-intensive and requires a keen eye and a deft touch, as the fishermen must ensure that they do not miss any valuable catches. This poignant photograph captures the essence of a time-honored tradition that continues to thrive in the face of modernization and changing times. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the rich cultural heritage and natural resources of our coastal communities, and the role they play in providing us with delicious and sustainable food sources.
