The mangroves at in the river deltas are a source of oysters. On the same areas are large quantities of mussels. Over centuries, man made islands have been formed from the shells of these products of the sea. Villages have been built on these islands. This is the cemetery of two of these villages, Joal- Fadiout. It is divided into Muslim and Christian areas. French Catholic missionaries settled in Fadiout, so it is largely Catholic. There is a mosque as well. Note, the bodies are buried in shells.
