佛得角海滩上的女采沙工们辛勤劳作,海滩被剥光了。

Tavares collects black sand from the seabed at a beach depleted by sand mining for commercial sale near Ribeira da Barca.

On a rocky Cape Verde beach, Maria and Vania Tavares fill their buckets with black sand the moment the waves recede, transporting it on their heads to a stockpile where it will be sold illegally.The women struggle to keep their footing against the rough ocean while balancing the loads, which weigh dozens of kilogrammes.

The beach is far from the typical picture postcard image of the west African archipelago and Tavares makes the sign of the cross before stepping into its dangerous waves.
