Private Story
Blue Echoes
Jacques Cousteau has defined this place "The world's aquarium": its waters host more than 900 species of fish and over 30 cetacean's types but years of overfishing have dramatically affected its delicate ecosystem.
For more than a decade the community of shark fishermen or "Tiburoneros" from El Sargento has been forced to migrate to the Pacific side of the Baja peninsula, due to the state of the Sea of Cortez. They spend most of their life away from their families in abandoned islands which seem outposts at the edge of the world. Everyday they navigate up to 40 miles from the coast for catching bigger sharks into an infinite routine.
The project follows an emotional journey through the relationship between these men and the nature which surrounds them, where they are unexpected guests and what keeps you alive can also kill you.
