Strengthening the role of women in community-based marine resource management: lessons learned from community workshops

Community-based resource management (CBRM) forms an important component of the Solomon Islands Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources (MFMR) inshore fisheries strategy. The strategy recognises that community-based initiatives will be the engine of sustainable economic development in the inshore marine resource sector. Key activities in the strategy include developing and refining community-based management plans and testing livelihood diversification/supplementation strategies. CBRM is now supporting more than 113 locally-managed marine areas in Solomon Islands (Govan et al. 2009) and all members of a community — men, women, youth and children — contribute to the success, or otherwise, of CBRM initiatives.
