Poaching 

Large numbers of fishing nets are set on a weekly basis on the surrounding areas of Bacău

Not only fish are caught in the nets

    Some pictures shot recently on a waste management campaign put together by CRE Bacau in collaboration with local high-school volunteers. Approximately 200 young ecologists managed to gather hundreds of kilos of waste, finishing in the end with the planting of wicker in an area that was previously affected by fire. More about it here (only Romanian).

Off to the dump

In mid October I went on a small boating trip with a friend of mine on Lake Bacău, the "too-familiar" place where I used to go swimming when I was a kid. He did some monitoring and waste management round the area, I did some shooting. Good deal!
