A hand-sewn photo zine created by photographer Alan Gignoux, documenting the lives of the ‘watermen’ working in Chesapeake Bay, who have lived off brab fishing since the mid nineteenth century. The island is sinking and shrinking at an alarming rate because of geological changes and rising sea levels caused by global warming. Without government support to construct sea walls, the island’s 436 residents may be the first refugees of climate change in the continental U.S.A.
