This project documents the lived experiences of women and other underrepresented genders in Maine’s fisheries and aquaculture industries, focusing on the impacts of environmental change on their work. Interviews explore the bottom-up and innovative responses individuals are experimenting with to adapt to change, as well as barriers and needs to realize resilient fishing futures.

The interviews are from the project Gendered dimensions of climate change impacts, adaptive capacity, and resilience in Maine’s Coastal Fisheries, funded by NOAA’s Climate and Fisheries Adaptation Program and the Fund for Maine Islands.
