Abstract

The inclusion of gender research is necessary for rigorous social and ecological approaches to small-scale fisheries. Within specific sectors it is recognized that women fish, but there is still a real need to include gender analysis in small-scale fisheries research and management. A gender approach to small-scale fisheries fits well with emerging ecosystem approaches that intentionally work at the intersection of social and ecological systems. Ecosystem approaches move away from a single stock assessment model of management towards a more complex understanding of the effects of multiple and interacting fi sheries on the marine ecosystem.
