3.3.4 Co-management and women

Women should be a part of co-management because

- Women are often a part of the fisheries (Involved in preparing for fishing trips, artisanal fisheries, repairing nets, marketing and value addition)

- United community will facilitate better management. Women’s role in social networking and keeping good relations will help this process.

- Women can create better awareness on resource conservation and sustainable fisheries among the children (of fisher folk) who will become a part of the co-management process at a later stage.
