Hervé Tardy‘s Silence published by Albin Michel. Is presented as follows:
A book to be published before the major UN conference in Nice on oceans and fisheries in June 2025.
It is a poetic and sensitive photographic work that celebrates small-scale marine artisans in the face of the factory ships that empty the oceans;
A book that advocates for sustainable artisanal fishing in the face of the state of ocean resources;
Daniel Pauly, one of the greatest marine biologists, wrote the preface.
A work campaigning for sustainable resources.
These words from the photographer:
“Why? Why so much silence around the seas?
The silence of the consumer who doesn’t ask where the fish he buys comes from.
The silence of the shipowner who never talks about weight and quantity.
The silence of the fisherman who can only say that “there is less than before.”
The silence of the fishmonger who doesn’t really say that his fish is becoming less and less wild. On all the world’s seas, warnings are multiplying.
So, in the face of all this silence, it was time to give the fish a voice in this book.” Hervé Tardy
