Women in Seafood

Australasia

The people making up Women in Seafood Australasia (WISA) are a force unto themselves. Interspersed throughout communities around Australia, together these women are leading the way on some of the most fundamental issues affecting fishing communities around Australia and the world—mental health and the marine environment are just two of their priorities. We asked six of these women how they view women in the seafood industry going forward.

Does being a woman in the fishing industry open doors that are closed to men? What does the future for women in the industry look like?
