Fisherman Chapoka Miongo speaks from his traditional dugout canoe at the Shimoni channel, in Kwale county, Kenya, on Tuesday, June 14, 2022. Artisanal fisheries on Kenya's coast say climate change, overfishing by large foreign vessels and a lack of other job opportunities for coastal communities is draining the Indian Ocean of its yellowfin tuna stocks. Miongo explained that warming waters forced tuna species to alter their migration patterns, making it harder for local fishers to catch them. Image by AP Photo/Brian Inganga.
