  • Lampoul sur Mer - drying fish
  • Kayar - Fishing is a very important resource in Senegal. All along the coast, and even within, brackish rivers, wherever you meet modern or traditional boats and men intent to fishing. In some places the return of the fishermen with the net is filled with a special occasion, as it was founded around a kind of big party everyday. Kayar is one of these places. Every afternoon the women and children on the beach waiting impatiently for the arrival of the fishermen. At some point you start to spot the first boats, boats are traditional, colorful, whose sides are painted linked to legends and divine protection from bad luck at sea. Finally the boats reached the beach, and begins a frantic activity to download the fish and sell it at auction. Women play an important role in trade and the children collect small fish that have escaped, dinner will be provided also to the poorest.
