New report: Experiences, challenges and opportunities for women working in Scottish fisheries

communities and the fishing industry through their paid and unpaid labour.

A new report published by the Scottish Government explains how women are under represented in the Scottish fishing industry, and how there are not enough women in management roles.

It goes further with a conclusion that: “Working to create equitable, safe and sustainable fisheries through engaging with underrepresented members within the industry can improve the resilience of the industry as a whole”
