Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Women’s labour in the blue economy is often undocumented, unequally compensated, and more vulnerable to climate shocks. Formalising women’s employment and investing in their education can help improve gender equity and sustainable development outcomes for them and the oceans. The blue economy is entering a new economic and management paradigm. Almost 200 countries have agreed to the UN’s recent High Seas Treaty to protect 30% of Earth’s total land and coastal marine areas by 2030. The global demand for commercial fishing products is strong, and aquaculture activities are expanding. Women constitute 47% of the people deriving their livelihoods from fishing and 70% from aquaculture and are key stakeholders who can prosper and contribute to the sustainable development of the sector.
