"Gender, Seafood & Sustainability" 

Caroline E. Ferguson
PhD candidate | Stanford University
Lecturer | CSUMB, Department of Applied Environmental Science

Seafood is the most traded food commodity in the world, and the trade in seafood is promoted as a development strategy in coastal communities across the globe. However, the seafood trade does not impact all fishers equally. This research addresses the question of how the harms and benefits of the seafood trade are distributed in a fishing community according to fishers' intersecting identities.
