I was quite unprepared for this fishing village while doing sea turtle surveys in Morroco. Not thatched huts, not mud houses, not coconut-frond homes on stilts, but rooms carved into the steep cliffs along the beach. Leaving their families and houses somewhere inland, they live on the coast during the fishing season, making these rooms in the rocks cozy and comfortable homes. They do occasionally catch turtles in their nets - they produced the green turtle skull lying in the foreground.
