Day 29: Nouakchott



	Nouakchott beach, where the Sahara meets the Atlantic. A mile of fish market with a backdrop of wrecked freighters.



	Never a shortage of helpers to bring the boats in. A boy (right) waits with his plastic tray to carry fish up to be weighed. The best of the catch never reaches local waters; it's trawled by foreign factory ships out beyond the horizon.
