Abstract

Betty looks so little and frail. She giggles like a little girl and one thinks she is just a student. But Betty is 31 years old, a mother of three and the only woman chairperson of the Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Management Council (FARMC) in her region. These FARMCs were created in 1998-90 after the passing of the Fisheries Code that was lobbied for by several fishworker organizations. The Code stipulates that 15 km of inshore waters should be reserved for the artisanal fishers, where no destructive fishing will take place.
