当马来西亚的巴瑶人（Malay Bajau）正在破坏其赖以生存的珊瑚礁时，摄影师詹姆斯·摩根（James Morgan）却通过自己的镜头记录下这个古老部落濒临灭绝的悠久文化。

Nowin her 50s, Ibu Diana Botutihe is one of the few remaining Bajau tohave lived her entire life on a boat, visiting land only briefly inorder to trade fish for rice, water and other staples. What makesDiana's life at sea all the more remarkable is the fact that hertraditional lepa-lepa boat measures just 5m long and 1.5m wide

50岁的伊布·戴安娜·波图提赫（Ibu DianaBotutihe）是巴瑶部落硕果仅存的几位原住民之一，她几乎在船上度过了自己的一生，平时上岸也只是为了卖鱼，同时换来大米、淡水和其他一些生活必需品。戴安娜在海上的家就是一条5米长，1.5米宽的“莱帕-莱帕”小船，她如此简陋的海上生活简直让人感到不可思议。

Asone of the world's last surviving sea nomads, Diana's cramped boat isfilled with the accoutrements of everyday living – jerry cans, blackenedstockpots, plastic utensils, a kerosene lamp and a pair of pot plants.Malay people have lived at sea for centuries, plying a tract of oceanbetween the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia

作为世界上仅存的海上牧民，戴安娜狭促的小船挤满了各式各样的日常生活用品——简便油桶，熏黑的汤锅，塑料餐具，一盏煤油灯和一对盆栽植物。巴瑶人在海洋上生活了好几个世纪，他们经常来往于菲律宾、马来西亚和印度尼西亚之间的海域。

IbuAne looks on as her son Ramdan forages the reef for clams. Since Ane'shusband died of the bends as a result of diving, she has relied on herson to support her during their six-month-long stints at sea

伊布·阿耐（Ibu Ane）看着自己的儿子拉姆丹（Ramdan）在珊瑚礁里搜寻蛤蚌。阿耐的丈夫死于长期潜水而导致的减压病，因此在长达六个月的海洋采摘期中，她必须得依赖自己的儿子。

Marinenomads such as Imran in Sulawesi, Indonesia, are highly skilled. Toavoid a painful bite, Imran will catch this box fish by placing histhumb and forefinger in its eye sockets. Once the fish is essentiallyblindfolded, Imran will lead it back to his boat

作为常年与海洋打交道的海上牧民，住在印尼苏拉威西岛（Sulawesi）的伊姆兰（Imran）潜水技术非常高超。为了避免被咬到，伊姆兰将自己的拇指和食指放在这只箱鲀的眼窝上，一旦鱼眼被蒙上，伊姆兰会带着它游到自己的船边。

Sincediving is the main occupation for the Bajau people, they deliberatelyrupture their eardrums at an early age. Unsurprisingly, most older Bajauare hard of hearing. They hunt with spear guns fashioned from boattimber, tyre rubber and scrap metal

潜水是巴瑶人最主要的生存技巧，在年幼的时候他们就故意弄破了自己的耳膜，因此大多数的巴瑶老者听力都不好。他们用船骨、轮胎橡胶和废金属制成梭标枪来捕鱼。

戴着自制木头眼镜的摩恩·兰科刚潜完水，他用一根拆轮胎的铁棒去搜寻蛤蚌，铁棒的重量会让他沉入海底，他可以在暗礁中到处游动，寻找珍珠和海参。

Charitiessuch as WWF and Conservation International are helping create marinemanagement programmes that encourage sustainability through no-fishzones and a return to traditional fishing methods. It is often the Bajauwho pass on such programmes to local communities

诸如世界自然基金会（WWF）和保护国际基金会（ConservationInternational）这样的慈善组织正在帮助原住民建立海洋管理规划，通过设立禁渔区和回归传统捕鱼方式来保持海洋渔业的可持续性。这样的规划倘若要在当地基层铺开实施，重任自然落到了巴瑶人的肩上。
