Hands on.
Photographer: Kaja Hiis-Rinne
Idea and story-telling: Kalli and Valev Sein
Fish as a pattern of life.
Connecting people, making networks.
Old knowledge, new materials. New networks and funds for restoring the fish populations.
Old recipes in new sauce.
We, islanders, must be connected to save the Baltic Sea, we are connected by lifestyle.
Not only by habitat, but by essence.
Survivors – self confident and multitalented.
