About
World-wide research on women’s roles in fisheries has indicated that women have important, yet often, overlooked roles in fisheries. In Bristol Bay roughly 30 percent of the setnet permit holders are women. NOAA Fisheries scientists from the Alaska Fisheries Science Center documented oral histories with women so that they could share their stories and knowledge, and about how environmental change may be impacting these fisheries. They shared the results of this project during two community events.
The researchers were in Bristol Bay from Tuesday July 24 through Thursday August 2, 2018 and gathered oral histories from Alaska Native women who fish in Bristol Bay.
