Abstract

Not only are women increasingly involved in fisheries development, they are also the group most affected by major fisheries development ventures. The articles on the tuna industry in the Marshall Islands and Kiribati focus on the activities of seafarers and sex workers, and how expansion in the industry places young women and seafarers’ wives at great risk of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. The national tuna and management plans being developed by the Forum Fisheries Agency include a socioeconomic and gender component, which looks specifically into the impacts of the industry.
