Abstract

The aim of this report is to provide Oxfam Novib and its partners engaged in Community based Coastal Resource Management (CBCRM) in the Southeast Asia region, with insights on integrating a gender perspective in the practice of CBCRM. The report provides an analysis of gender relations prevailing in coastal communities in Southeast Asia and the key gender issues in coastal resources management. It outlines successful strategies and experiences of gender integration in approaches and actions in coastal resources management. Fisheries is an important sector in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia, Thailand, Viet Nam, Philippines and Malaysia among the top 20 countries in terms of total fish production. The population dependent on fisheries is also large, with as many as 88 per cent of the 41.4 million fishers and fish farmers recorded in Asia, with a vast majority being small-scale and artisanal. More than 100 million people are estimated to be involved in fisheries-related occupations in Asia. The actual number, in all likelihood, is much higher. The sector makes important contributions to national and local economies, and as importantly, to food security. Fisheries in the region, as in regions where it is a traditional activity, is associated with unique cultural identities, knowledge systems, and institutions.
