Abstract

A deep dive into the seas of Jeju Island, South Korea, brings the role of fisherwomen called ‘haenyeos’ in sea harvesting and post-harvest to the shorelines. Fisheries is a trade where men work to catch in larger numbers and women’s role has only recently been highlighted in the fish food systems. But a look at the ‘haenyeos’, the ‘sea women’ in Jeju, with their average age in mid60s, reveals their role as caretakers of the ecology and diverse species, in what is termed, the seascape.
