Women in fisheries
Information bulletin - Pacific Community
Number 41 (March 2025)
This 41st edition of the Pacific Community’s (SPC) Women in Fisheries Information Bulletin has 19 original articles from the Pacific region.
In this edition, we have two articles on women fish wardens highlighting how gender norms are shifting in fisheries in Fiji. The Kiribati government completed and published a detailed gender analysis of its fisheries and aquaculture sector, focusing initially on four atolls. There are multiple articles highlighting how the Pacific Community through the Pacific European Union Marine Partnership programme has been investing in gender and fisheries in the Pacific region, including evaluating and documenting their progress. There is an interesting ‘food for thought’ article on why mangroves and people benefit from feminist food research. And to top it off the Pacific hosts its first regional Gender and Social Inclusion in Fisheries Symposium. Finally, our section on profiles is growing, reflecting some truly exceptional people working on fisheries (including gender and fisheries) in the Pacific. What a great end to 2024!
We welcome several new lead authors to the bulletin – Shereen Begg, Tracey Boslogo, Heide Bruckner, Merelesita Fong, Rhea George, Mary Tahu Paia, Josephine Rambay and Tupeope Samani.
