Finalist Human Connection Award: People & Planet Ocean

Rémi Conte Ambalihabe, Madagascar

13°35'53.5"S 47°49'03.9"E

A football pitch sits beside the Indian Ocean on Nosy Iranja, Madagascar, where village life and the sea exist side by side. Captured from above, this view reveals more than a tropical landscape: it shows a community shaped by fishing, family and daily connection to the water. Beyond the island’s famous sandbank lies a place where the ocean remains central to everyday life.
