Gender and fisheries: strengthening community-based management of inshore fisheries towards gender equity in Solomon Islands

The  project is aiming to improve adaptive management as women and youth contribute their knowledge and skills to community based adaptive management (CBAM) of resources of particular interest to women (e.g., mangrove fruits, mangrove shells, mangrove wood, near shore reef fish. The inclusion of youth ensures a continuity of community-based resource management practices, as well as acknowledging the greater potential to change gender relations (in the form of norms, behaviour and attitudes) between young women and men.
