Danika’s Seminar: Women fish too: gender and small-scale fisheries in the Central Philippines
The inclusion of women’s fishing is necessary to determine the diversity and totality of small-scale fishing efforts. In this presentation I will examine how the inclusion of women’s fishing can change the characterization of small-scale fisheries, and the implication of these changes to fisheries management and marine conservation efforts. I will present examples from a global review of case studies that include women’s fishing efforts, as well as present results from my own case study in the Central Philippines.
