Subsistence fisheries plays an important role for food safety, social networking and cash income generation in coastal communities in the Pacific. While access to and use of marine resources is equally shared by all members of the community, particular fisheries are often gender specific. Men are more likely to fish during both the day and night, and to target more distant fishing grounds and deeper waters, which requires them to be away for longer periods of time. Men are also more likely to use boat transport. Women, on the other hand, are generally engaged in reef gleaning, targeting invertebrates and less frequently finfish by mostly walking along habitats close to shore (Matthews 2002; Matthews and Oiterong 1995). However, in some Pacific societies (e.g. Fiji), women and men share equitable access to marine resources and fishing techniques (Thompson 1940; Quinn and Davis 1997).
