Fishing is one of the riskiest occupations. Fishers everywhere are vulnerable to accidents, injuries and death. Some 24 000 deaths occur every year in fishing, besides an estimated 24 million non-fatal accidents annually.1 In the developing world, accidents and deaths are frequent in small-scale fishing operations. Some of the reasons: inadequacies in safety and communication equipment, in search-and-rescue (SAR), and early warning services. This paper discusses the role of gender in sea safety programmes for artisanal and small-scale fishing communities.
