Women and social cohesion in coastal communities
Catching		This refers to the activity of fish or aquatic animal capture. The use of the term in this research does not involve farm fish. Only 2% of the female participants have fished on board of a boat. In all the cases this activity was encouraged and taught by their fathers
Trading		15% of the total interviewed women work in the commercialisation of fish contributing to the fishing industry through their participation in the fish trading activity, which involves: buying at the auction, transporting and distribution of fish, selling fish over the phone as well as at fishmongers - oftentimes their own.
Processing		Fish processing involves gutting, boning, filleting, cooking and packing fish. 15% of women who were interviewed worked in processing plants.
Tourism/Heritage		The preservation of the fishing legacy in the towns is one of the greatest contributions of women to this sector. The 13% of the interviewed women who worked in that activity appeared to do so proudly in many cases voluntarily for the preservation of the fishing heritage amongst young people and tourists, thereby contributed to the cultural heritage of their towns and society.
