摘要

Looking for a way to mark International Women's Day on Monday, 8 March 2021,1 came across videos submitted for the fourth Women in Seafood annual competition, run by the International Organisation for Women in the Seafood Industry (WSI). WSI asked women to share a short film of their observations and experiences in the industry. The films submitted forjudging by an international jury in 2020, are both inspirational and humbling."We reached out to women right across the seafood sector, in fishing, aquaculture, processing, local fish selling and international trading, quality management, certification, teaching, learning, and the wide range of services related to the industry. Anew category was included this year for 'life under Covid', because our research shows that the virus has severely hit women seafood workers," WSI founder and executive director Marie Christine Mon-fort told Fish Farmer.
