Abstract

On the east coast of Canada, in the province of Prince Edward Island (PEI), an inshore fishery of about 1,300 small boats struggles to find the balance between sustainability and making a living. In the past 30 years, mostly out of necessity, women have found themselves on the backs of these boats, fishing beside their partners. However, their role in the larger management of the fishery has been limited.
