Teamwork in Bangladesh

‘Teamwork in Bangladesh’ - Richard Owen

Exploring (in an inflatable) the Ganges Delta in the Bay of Bengal we came across a scene that hadn’t changed in hundreds of years, though it’s quite rare nowadays.
Local fishermen were using trained otters to drive fish into their huge nets, and the co-ordination of the two men steering the boats with the two controlling both net and otters was almost balletic.
