Esther, a resilient 45-year-old fisherwoman from Ambon bay, Indonesia, has spent nearly two decades navigating the unpredictable waters of the fishing industry. Together with her husband, who also fishes, Esther has carved out a livelihood that depends on the daily rhythm of the sea and the markets. Every morning from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM, except Sundays, Esther sets up her stall at Haria market, selling her husband's catches to the community. Her smartphone is her lifeline, allowing her to stay connected with market trends and determine the best prices for their fish. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, if prices at the Saparua market are more favorable, she travels there to sell, maximizing her earnings.
