Abstract

It is spring tide in the Fumba Peninsula in Zanzibar. Amina Mustapha is crouched over knee-high waters, looking for bivalves until the tide returns. Most of the time, the meat helps to feed her family, but on a good day, Amina will be able to sell some of it as well, at the local market. Since the soil is salty and mixed with coral rag, agriculture in the peninsula is virtually impossible, forcing women like Amina to depend on oyster- and other bivalve-collection for a living.
