On the nature-rich shores near the western most point of Australia, a handful of fishermen quietly go about their fishing in the way their fathers and grandfathers taught them.
Shark Bay’s net fishermen are among the last commercial fishermen who fish using nets pulled by hand.
Using eyes honed by a lifetime at sea, they spot their fish, set nets and haul their catch by hand in shallow waters.
They believe simple fishing operations are key to preserving fish stocks - and their lifestyle.
