Fishing is generally thought of as what fishers do — catch fish. A sentiment among some Pacific Island fisheries departments is that 'women don't fish, they just collect shells'. The extent or affect of that shell collecting is often minimized or overlooked completely. This has helped to isolate women's concerns from mainstream fisheries programmes. For instance, the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) began a Women in Fisheries programme within its Coastal Fisheries section. Although women's needs and collection activities are increasingly acknowledged and studied, they are usually the focus of a separate and special office, not integrated into the fisheries development programme as a whole. In addition, regional organisations and governments rarely integrate the impacts and needs of these collection activities into broader fisheries conservation and management programmes.
