dc.descriptionThe Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Pacific rely heavily on fishing for food, nutrition, and jobs. However, the sustainability of these fisheries is threatened by challenges like poor management and illegal fishing practices. Climate change also plays a major role, affecting fisheries through extreme weather, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, flooding, and coastal erosion. How well communities can adapt depends on their access to resources, technology, and knowledge. In addition to these challenges, improved management strategies must also consider gender issues and work to reduce gender inequalities. In 2019, the FAO and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) conducted gender assessments and found a strong need to improve data collection and to create strategies that give women more opportunities in fishing and its related industries. This project, in partnership with national fisheries agencies in Fiji, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu, aimed to strengthen the ability of coastal communities to manage their marine resources and strengthen the role and participation of women in fisheries and aquaculture.
