Flock of seagulls fly near Danilo Latins ship in Savudrija
A flock of seagulls fly near Danilo Latins ship in Savudrija June 26, 2013. Most of the 3, 700 fishermen who ply their trade in Croatias eastern Adriatic fear that the countrys accession to the European Union on July 1, and strict new laws and regulations that come with it, may drive the last nail into their coffin. Croatias Adriatic is small and relatively shallow and fishermen use traditional nets that are not compliant with the Common Fishing Policy, modeled mostly on fishing in the Atlantic.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a breathtaking moment as a flock of seagulls gracefully soar near Danilo Latin's ship in Savudrija, Croatia. The image was taken on June 26,2013, just days before Croatia's accession to the European Union. However, for the 3,700 fishermen who rely on the eastern Adriatic for their livelihoods, this event brings about concerns and fears. The impending strict new laws and regulations that accompany EU membership may spell trouble for these traditional fishermen. With most of them using nets that do not comply with the Common Fishing Policy designed primarily for Atlantic fishing practices, they worry that their way of life is at risk. Against a backdrop of clear blue skies and fluffy white clouds, these seagulls symbolize freedom and instinctual movement in nature. Their flight showcases both beauty and grace as they navigate through open spaces above the shimmering sea. This photograph serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human activity and our natural environment. It highlights the challenges faced by those whose lives are intimately connected to nature while also drawing attention to broader issues such as climate change and environmental conservation. In this picturesque scene captured by Antonio Bronic from Reuters Images, we witness both unity among birds flying together in harmony and an underlying sense of uncertainty about what lies ahead for these Croatian fishermen amidst changing times.
