Mom & I watched an episode of #DeadliestRoads last night. The episode was the Green Gold in #Vietnam episode. We both laughed when we saw the man loading & transporting a lot of weaved fishing traps, on his #bicycle. It reminded us of one of Mom's younger brothers, my 3rd Uncle, on matriarch side. He transported fishing traps that my Aunties made in the village & would pedal all day, mostly on rough rural paths, to get them to nearest town market to sell. He would be gone a week, staying in town until traps were sold, before bicycling back to the village.

I made a gif of screenshots of how the fish traps are packed on his bicycle & him on the bicycle during the journey.

Off the coast of Sicily, Sea Shepherd and its volunteers are hunting down illegal fish traps and working with Italian authorities to crack down on this environmental crime.

Gorad Goch fishtrap, between Menai suspension and Britannia bridges, Menai Strait.

The tide comes in from left to right, fish merrily swim into the walled structure, then are trapped in a pool there as the tide fell below the narrow opening.
