EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, licensed cockle pickers are caught in action as they unload bags filled to the brim with their precious catch. With the picturesque Ribble Estuary as their backdrop, these daring individuals navigate the muddy shores between Lytham and Southport in Lancashire, England. As autumn sets in and the Atlantic breeze fills the air, these brave fishermen embark on a legal quest to harvest delectable shellfish from Foulnaze Bank. Armed with permits and expertise, they venture into private coastal areas to gather nature's bounty. With each bag unloaded from their trusty boats, it's clear that this is no ordinary fishing expedition. These skilled pickers meticulously hand-pick every cockle from its bed along the temperate mud flats of Europe's seashores. Their hard work ensures that only the finest shellfish make it onto our plates. Amidst all the hustle and bustle of this maritime industry, one cannot help but admire both man and sea working together harmoniously. This snapshot captures not just a moment in time but also showcases centuries-old traditions passed down through generations of British fishermen. So next time you savor a mouthwatering plate of seafood delicacies, take a moment to appreciate those who labor tirelessly behind-the-scenes - licensed cockle pickers like these unsung heroes captured by FLPA/John Eveson.
