Philippe Rollin has been working as a mussel fisherman in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer for decades.

This marine treasure is theoretically under strict protection: strictly regulated fishing seasons, catch quotas and clear regulations on the size of the mussels that can be caught – but not everyone sticks to them.
