Ibo Island lies off the coast of Mozambique and was once frequently visited by Arab traders in their dhows, as well as being occupied by the Portuguese in during the first part of the 20th century. Most people in the area live a subsistence life based on fishing and farming. This photo was taken when I worked in the area as part of a project that was promoting ecotourism as an additional source of income for locals. This fishermen had stopped off on a sand bar in proximity to Ibo Island to fix his fishing net under the hot summer sun, surrounded by a turquoise and azure tropical ocean.
