This long-term project analyzes the human being-environmental relationship by exposing the path that follows the sustainable fishing communities which are capable of making a sustainable living without causing damages to the environment and the opposing path of ambition, which leads from sustainable fishing to commercial fishing, in which the main goal of the primitive fishing communities ,consisting in subsistence and survival, is traded by the ambitious greed for huge profits leading to commercial fishing. The initial primitive fishing community belongs to Cambodia, representing a sustainable community. The following one belongs to Vietnam, and although it was some years ago a traditional one, for the past years it has become one of the main suppliers of the Vietnamese fishing markets. Their fishing is aimed for profits , and the capture of an extremely rare Banded Eagle Ray is only regarded as such, as in the heavy industrialized Taiwanese shark fishing company. At the last fishing community, a child attempts to eat a piece of crab which his father has captured in far away waters, because their living location already represents an extremely disrupted and polluted environment that doesn't have fish.
