EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Jones showcases the bountiful harvest of Ikan Puri, a species resembling small anchovies, in West Papua, Indonesia. The image captures a net brimming with these fish under a fishing platform known as "bagan" which was captured during the nighttime using lift nets and powerful lights. The vertical color image portrays an underwater scene teeming with life and abundance. With no people present, it allows us to focus solely on the mesmerizing sight of countless Ikan Puri trapped within the confines of the net. This photograph provides a glimpse into the thriving fishing industry in this region. The composition highlights not only the catch of fish but also emphasizes their importance as baitfish for larger marine creatures. It serves as a reminder that every aspect of our ecosystem is interconnected and relies on each other for sustenance. Located in Cenderawasih Bay, West Papua offers rich biodiversity and vibrant sea life like nowhere else in Southeast Asia. This photo encapsulates both its natural beauty and its significance to local communities who depend on fishing for their livelihoods. Steve Jones's skillful photography transports viewers into an underwater world where nature's wonders unfold before our eyes.
