![]() Since it is impossible to count every fish in the lake, unlike in a census of human population, an ‘experimental fishing’ method is used instead. The volunteers gather a day ahead for an orientation session, which familiarises them with the method used for the counting. In its 10th year now, the count is organised by the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), in collaboration with the Samyuktha Vembanad Kayal Samrakshana Samithi (Federation of Vembanad Lake Protection Forums), a collective of traditional fishermen, and several government departments including the Kerala State Biodiversity Board. The fish count takes the next step by asking, “What happens to the fish?” A “Wetland of International Importance” under the global Ramsar Convention, and the largest such site in India, Vembanad also ranks among the world’s most polluted lakes, as sewage, plastic, chemicals and mismanagement have sullied its waters, especially in its southern sector. ![]() The Vembanad Fish Count gets underway in the saline waters of Vembanad lake, which forms the heart of India’s favourite backwaters. On one day every May, the tourist drill in the Kerala backwaters - book resort, hire houseboat, open beer, laze - is broken by a unique volunteer-driven activity that looks, quite literally, at several underlying factors. Suddenly the silence was broken as a few dozen people assembled carrying an assortment of objects - buckets, fishing nets, laboratory beakers, bottles - and boarded a boat, before disappearing into the waters. Swanky houseboats were still tied to the shores and bobbing in the water the palatial resorts were yet to open their gates. Instead, the why to this ghostly happening ties in to the brothers’ relationship.At 6 am on May 27, the backwaters of Alappuzha, Kerala, were soundless.

The episode’s title takes the old saying, “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Water gushing out of someone’s mouth has definitely got to be a terrible way to go. This may not be the Flying Dutchman, but with what happens when a victim sees it, holds its own nasty surprises. There’s no better way to enjoy some ghost stories of the summer than the appearance of a ghost ship. But what’s one murderous water spirit to cause conflict? So the episode throws in the additional conflict of Bela ( Lauren Cohan), a con-artist trying to sell the cursed item that is causing the drownings. That her body hasn’t been submerged in water, catches the attention of Sam ( Jared Padalecki) and Dean ( Jensen Ackles). The soundtrack full of electronic needle drops is a constant element to the show, with band Pol del Sur getting their chance to shine here.Ī young woman spots a ghost ship, leading to her death by drowning. But hey, Prince Charming has a reputation. And Tati ( Ana Fabrega) remains aloof, the type to make a date after seeing a cartoon profile picture of a prince. Úrsula ( Cassandra Ciangherotti), the tough one of the friends, steps in when the town’s mayor tries to pay them with food coupons rather than hard cash. So close to the ocean, Andrés ( Julian Torres) with his bright blue hair, feels a connection to its past. Armed with tentacle prosthetics and a voice recording, the friends display an aquatic monster to lure in tourism. Tourism helps the town prosper, but they can't rely on everyone's favorite mascot anymore, an owl with a little wig. ![]() Everyone is still new to the job as Renaldo drives them to a seaside town for the next gig. With a bit of magical realism, the group work on elaborate experiences that defy logic.
