“…This may reflect women's 'shore' role, prioritising the needs of family and community rather than the needs of the catching sector. It may, however, also be related to the lack of voice in decision-making at various levels in the fishing industry (Zhao et al 2012). In addition to contributing to the family fishing business (mostly unpaid and unrecognised support), the majority of women in this study were actively involved in promoting their fishing heritage and way of life.…”

“…), 6 returned to the workforce for varying reasons such as the need to supplement household income from fishing. Interestingly, however, the need for 'me-time' and the need to fulfil aspirations they had put on hold when they married and had children were also cited by respondents as a reason for returning to work (see Zhao et al 2012). This negotiation or adaptation of needs is explored further in the following section.…”

“…The time-line, illustrated in Figure 2, highlights how changing access to resources (for example, technology, target species, labour) greatly influenced the role of women. It is evident that their relationship with the natural resource is a dynamic one that has shifted from a more visible, active role to a more 'invisible' supporting role (see Zhao et al 2012). Although women were very involved in a lot of hard labour ashore, the group was very explicit in pointing out that, despite the Fishing News cutting, women in Northern Ireland never really actively fished and if any did they were an unknown minority.…”

This paper focuses on the gender dimensions of wellbeing in fishing households in Northern Ireland. The impact of change in the fishing industry on women's wellbeing is outlined and linkages are made between changing access to fish and changing roles of women in fishing households. The paper explores what this change means for how women perceive and pursue their wellbeing needs and aspirations and how they negotiate their needs with the needs of the household. In an occupation as gender biased as fishing it is argued that in order for fisheries management and policy to be successful, a profile of what really matters to people is important. In particular, the paper highlights how such priorities link to the complex and dynamic role of women in fishing households.

“…Muitas dessas trabalhadoras estão cadastradas como pescadoras artesanais, mas a função que exercem é dis nta daquela para qual o seguro defeso foi criado, pois elas processam pescados de diferentes origens, incluindo empresas que terceirizam inadequadamente este serviço. São evidências de que as polí cas públicas precisam ser diferenciadas no Brasil, considerando que há um con ngente de 40% de mulheres atuando na pesca no país, as quais muitas vezes fi cam invisíveis aos olhos da sociedade (SILVA, 2014;ZHAO et al, 2013).…”

Engaging with Women's Knowledge in Bristol Bay Fisheries through Oral History and Participatory Ethnography

et al. 2019

Research on women's contributions to Alaska's salmon fisheries is limited despite their historical engagement in commercial and subsistence fisheries. We interviewed women engaged in salmon fisheries in Bristol Bay, Alaska and illustrate how oral history and participatory ethnography methods contribute to voices being heard, that have been excluded from fisheries research and management. Four broad themes emerged from the interviews: women's knowledge and leadership; social cohesion; environmental change; and identity and place. Women assume major roles by contributing to the preservation of salmon fishing knowledge and cultural values through cross‐generational knowledge transfer. Their participation in fisheries, deep knowledge of local resources, and education of youth of the cultural value of fishing and the environment are critical to community socio‐cultural and economic wellbeing. We conclude that women's knowledge may be critical in fisheries management decisions, community resilience, and socio‐ecological sustainability in a region facing increased threats from climate change.
