Finalist Conservation Photographer of the Year

Thien Nguyen Vietnam

13°13'35.9"N 109°18'17.3"E

Anchovy fishing boats photographed from above along the coastline of Phu Yen province, Vietnam. “Salted anchovy is the most important raw material for creating traditional Vietnamese fish sauce,” says photographer Thien Nguyen Ngoc. “But, anchovies are little fish with a big impact. When they’re overfished, the whales, salmon, seabirds and other marine predators that rely on them as a dietary staple face starvation and death.”
