EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a fisherman proudly holds up a sea cucumber, showcasing the bounty of his day's catch. Taken in Sinabang district on Simeulue Island in Indonesia's Aceh province, the image captures the essence of a thriving fishing industry that relies on these marine creatures for sustenance and income. Equipped with a wooden boat and an air compressor, this group of fishermen embarks on daily hunts for not only sea cucumbers but also lobsters. Their hard work pays off handsomely, as they earn between 600,000 to one million rupiah per day ($65 to $109). The demand for sea cucumbers is rising rapidly due to their popularity as both a delicacy and medicinal ingredient in many Asian countries. The photograph showcases the intricate details of the sea cucumber held firmly in the fisherman's hand. Its unique shape and texture are highlighted against the backdrop of Simeulue Island's stunning exterior. This close-up shot allows us to appreciate both its beauty and significance within Indonesian culture. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how traditional occupations like being a sea cucumber hunter continue to attract young individuals seeking opportunities amidst changing times. With each successful catch processed and exported to destinations such as Singapore and China via Medan, North Sumatra province's capital city, these fishermen play an essential role in sustaining local economies while meeting global demands. Photographer Roni Bintang skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit behind this profession through his lens. Through his creative use of composition and focus on real people engaged in their daily work routine at sea, he invites viewers into their world – one where nature provides livelihoods intertwined with cultural traditions.
