The sea is a resource like no other, and we are used to thinking of the connection between land and sea as beaches, rocks, or cliffs. In cities, that relationship is a little more complicated. At times, it is almost brutal. Here, the sea is met by concrete. Changes to the landscape by the hand of nature such as waves and erosion have been replaced with man-made symmetry, cement, and land reclamation. All in the name of progress.

​

The coastline is shaped by the industrialization and development of its surroundings. We, as humans, seem unable to tame our desire to keep building and expanding into new areas. Still, there is one thing that survives alongside all these constant changes to the coastline and that is the art of recreational fishing.

​

No matter the changes made to the coastline, fishing seems to be unaffected. People fish in areas under construction, they sit and fish under concrete bridges, and they fish underneath enormous windmills. Some do it for eating and some do it for relaxation. Whatever the reason, it feels important to them, and it somehow manages to survive side by side with the constant development of coastline surroundings.
