Women in Seafood Australasia - Understanding, supporting and promoting effective participation by women within the Australian seafood industry

A comprehensive and wide-ranging understanding of the current levels of engagement of women in the seafood sector will provide a valuable and ongoing resource assisting the wider seafood sector to increase women's engagement and participation. This project contributes to increased involvement of women in the industry by: - creating a baseline (quantitative and qualitative) against which progress and impact of ‘Women in Seafood Australasia’ (WISA) activities can be measured; - establishing an online skills platform to provide access to training for women in rural and regional areas; - developing a communications and extension program to highlight the roles of women in seafood and the value diversity provides; and - delivering the Women in Seafood Pathways program to a minimum of 15 graduates initially.
