Abstract

Among fishing communities in Pacific Island countries, women’s increasing participation in the market economy is in addition to their traditional and social roles. The involvement of women in the fisheries sector is sometimes under-reported because their fishing activities are viewed as an extension of their traditional role of food foraging for home consumption. Although fisheries in Pacific Island countries offer excellent potential, there are many challenges.
