Mamadou Sarr, 38, a fisherman from Senegal, puts on his raincoat before collecting the nets with the catch on the Sarridal ship, on the Atlantic Ocean near Sisargas Islands, Galicia, Spain, November 24, 2023. Sarr was part of a migration surge in 2006 from West Africa through Spain's Canary Islands, with more than 30,000 migrants fleeing poverty exacerbated by a dramatic plunge in coastal fish stocks. This record was broken in 2023 when nearly 7,000 people died. "To see rafts arriving in Spain is very difficult," said Babou Diouf, 46, another Senegalese migrant. "To cross the ocean without knowing what you're facing - you're facing death." REUTERS/Nacho Doce
