For article ‘Bottom Trawling: What do Paloma Faith, Brexit and granite boulders have in common?’ by Amie Williams. Bottom trawling is a method of fishing, also known as “dragging”, that uses a net at the bottom of the ocean. It is extremely harmful to underwater habitat and marine organisms. With sea life as the focal point of this article, you see different kinds of fish across the frame.

For article ‘COP26: A Political Gimmick to Fool the World?’ by Liya Bensy. While the latest COP26 meeting was meant to be the most inclusive one so far, it ended up being for and by the rich.
