Two young brothers, RC and Bok, fall down laughing on top of their father Roldan de Guzman's fishing net in Pantihan, a small coastal village in Batangas, Philippines; their mother is abroad in Oman as a domestic worker. The net is made of nylon, and while it provides them with their daily sustenance, discarded nets or ghost nets make up a fifth of all marine plastics, drowning millions of marine animals every year. Behind them the ocean is muddied by a recent storm that flooded this coastline and claimed the life of a fisherman. Fisherfolk communities such as these are especially vulnerable to the intensifying and increasingly unpredictable storms that scientists now believe are directly related to climate change.
