Fishing

Another beach scene. I’m a bit obsessed by the sea which comes from living in the middle of the country well away from the coast so when we visit, I feel the need to wander near it with a camera.
This group of fishing men are RSE workers (Recognised Seasonal Employees). They come from overseas, usually the Pacific Islands, to work during the season, in the horticultural and viticultural industries when there are not enough NZ workers. The scheme started in 2007 with 5000 workers. This year there are 16,000. It was a beautiful day and they were having some success fishing.
