“…In the case of Galicia, there is a large amount of literature on the importance of women's work in fishing and their traditional leading role in activities related to shellfishing or the canning industry (Marugán Pintos 2004, 2012, Martínez 2016, Broullón Acuña 2011. Our starting point is that advances in the professionalization of shellfish activity on foot, that is, in the "process of turning shellfishing on foot into an activity that is the main source of income for the people who do it, and that allows them to receive appropriate social benefits" (Xunta de Galicia 1992, 46).…”

Fishing resources, as well as fishing activities and policies, are in a state of permanent change, therefore transforming the living and working conditions of coastal and fishing populations. The gender perspective is relevant to understand the challenges faced by men and women in the fishing sector. Galicia (Spain) is one of the main fishing regions in the EU and with the largest number of women working in the fishing sector, especially in shellfishing on foot. Shellfishing on foot, an artisanal and traditional activity for the cultivation and extraction of mainly bivalve molluscs, represents 7% of gross value added (GVA) and 17% of the employment of the Galician fishing sector as a whole. Since the 1960s, a process of regulation and modernization of shellfishing on foot—more than 95% of which is carried out by women—has led to a sharp decrease in the number of shellfish gatherers. The regulatory processes and the professionalization of the sector have resulted in a strong decline in female employment, but, at the same time, women feel empowered and regard their jobs as dignified work. Our objective—through the analysis of the local permits granted to carry out this activity—focuses on the study of the consolidation of this process and has tried to highlight the ways in which patriarchy perpetuates the hegemonic position of men evidenced, for example, by a progressive masculinization of this activity with increasing economic profitability and social prestige.

This article analyzes gender relations and sex-based division of labor in industrial fishing in Iquique, a port in northern Chile, during the second half of the 20th century. Researchers reviewed bibliographic and documentary sources and conducted in-depth interviews with key local players. The results show how women developed an agency that, by applying resistance strategies, put pressure on the workplace domination structures marked by gender hierarchies. The process reflects women's transition from the private (family) realm to the productive public sphere, which gave rise to a series of transformations in gender role representations in small-scale and industrial fishing.

El marisqueo es una actividad tradicional. La mayor parte del trabajo se efectúa con métodos de producción elementales en los bancos de arena de las zonas inter-mareales a tiempo parcial. Fue una actividad de subsistencia realizada, fundamentalmente y durante años, por mujeres. Los productos extraídos poseían una demanda reducida y su valor en el mercado era escaso. Desde mediados del siglo XX las administraciones públicas dictan medidas de ordenación a fin de regular y evitar la sobre-explotación de las áreas marisqueras. El marisqueo constituye en la actualidad la principal fuente de riqueza de las personas que la realizan. Las mujeres han sido claves en la demanda de profesionalización, reforzando el empoderamiento y la participación activa en la toma de decisiones. Más dicho proceso está conllevando, paralelamente, una tendencia hacia la masculinización. Se analiza el papel de las mujeres mariscadoras desde el enfoque económico y ambiental, vinculando su trabajo con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible; dando cuenta de los compromisos y tareas relacionadas con el mismo. Los resultados obtenidos prueban que las mariscadoras cumplen con la mayoría de ellos, asumiendo los principios de sostenibilidad y responsabilidad.
