Lives of wives
A video on wives of fishermen in Oregon, United States
A video titled Family, Business, and Community: The Lives of Fishermen’s Wives offers a perspective on the special nature of the fishing life as lived by four Oregon women. Working with Oregon Sea Grant and Newport Fishermen’s Wives, Women’s Coalition for Pacific Fisheries members helped create a documentary video looking at the lives of four fishermen’s wives. These women share the uniqueness and the similarities, and the challenges and the joys, of life in a commercial fishing family. The video has already been used as an educational tool in management and educational circles. For more information on how to obtain a copy of this video, go to the Oregon Sea Grant’s publications site (http://seagrant.orst.edu/sgpubs/onlinepubs). (D. Bogan and P.
