Rehi Salaam (Bait Salute)

These photographs are from a 14-hour trip I took with some incredible fishermen from Raa Atoll,
Maldives. We left at 2:30 am, and returned just before sunset. Titled ‘Masdhoni (Fishing Boat)’, this is a project that I am hoping to expand further over the next few years. In this image, one of the crew tosses whitebait (known as rehi in the Maldives) as bait for the tuna. The whitebait are kept in the boat's hull, with fresh seawater channeling through it, keeping them alive and fresh until needed.
