Bibliographies : WIF and MPA
The ICSF website now carries updated bibliographies of its two sub-sites: Women in Fisheries and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
The Women in Fisheries (WIF) Bibliography (wif.icsf.net) has been updated with the latest documents in three thematic areas: women’s contribution to resource management; the role of women in the sectors of fish processing, trade, and MPAs; and women and community-based management.
Some interesting articles are: Women’s contribution to food security and local economies by Sarah Harper and colleagues; Women’s participation in decision-making process in the Solomon Islands by Shankar Aswani and Pam Weiant; Women’s participation in the management of MPAs in Brazil by Regina Di Ciommo and Alexandre Schiavetti; Gendered access to fishing resources by Barbara Walker and Michael Robinson; Women’s role in the value-chain in fish processing in Nigeria by Abiodun O. Cheke; and, finally, Women’s role in the global fishery value chain by Achini De Silva and colleagues.
The MPAs site (mpa.icsf.net) has also been updated with documents on the governance of MPAs and on community-based management. The papers cover a wide range of countries, including Indonesia, Portugal, Australia, India, Brazil, China, Colombia, Vietnam, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania, Senegal, Cambodia, Chile, and the Philippines.
