※ This video is part of <Humans and the Sea - Struggle with the Waves, Mauritanian Fishermen> broadcast on November 30, 2022. Mauritania, a barren country in northwestern Africa, where 90% of the land is made up of desert and wasteland. In particular, the capital city of Nouakchott is adjacent to the vast Atlantic Ocean, boasting an abundance of fish species. Among them, there are quite a few fishermen who catch the 'Mauritani octopus', which is famous worldwide for its size and shape... In order to withstand the fierce waves, the boats are made in a long and thin shape, but on days with strong waves, they are mostly tied to the beach. A large fish market near the sea in Nouakchott. If you go inside the fish market, you will see octopuses. Octopuses weighing 4kg each are valuable as they are 10 times more expensive than herring. However, surprisingly, Mauritanians hardly know how to eat octopuses... We met Captain Mohamed, a fisherman who went out to sea in the early morning with oil cans to put on his boat. He inherited the octopus catching business that has been passed down through generations. The captain prepares GPS and motors to guide the ship for departure, and the crew members each take their seats to keep the ship centered in the rough waves. Not long after departure, the crew starts to light a fire on the ship. It is to enjoy herbal tea to replenish energy! This is a deep-rooted custom that has been around for 300 years. In addition, they never forget to pray while at sea. Once they are mentally prepared, they pull up the jars they threw the day before by hand. This fishing method is called 'artisanale' in Mauritania. When a 100m rope is pulled up, 50 jars come up one after another. The crew members who expect a full catch and the results? The octopuses caught by the fishermen are immediately transferred to a processing plant for export. The work continues from sorting by weight to freezing at a temperature of -40℃. It is related to the fishing industry, which accounts for 60-70% of Mauritania's industry, and when exports are at their peak, they produce up to 30-40 tons per day. Although they do not eat octopus, Mauritanians value and think of octopus more than anyone else. The story of Mauritanian fishermen desperately holding on to their lives on the sea, fighting against the huge Atlantic waves ✔ Program name: Humans and the Sea - Mauritanian fishermen in a fight against the waves ✔ Broadcast date: 2022.11.30 #TVRoBoNiGollaDunDocumentary
