The seafood industry, like many other industries, lacks representation of women in leadership positions.

Women often face unrealistic expectations and are held to different standards than men in the workplace.

Mentorship and support from other women in the industry are crucial for career growth and success.

Creating a diverse and inclusive work environment is the responsibility of senior leaders and organizations.

Both men and women have a role to play in advocating for equality and equal opportunities. The seafood industry can be homogeneous, making it challenging for individuals who don't fit the mold.

Diversity in hiring is crucial for success and innovation in the industry.

Networking and support systems, such as organizations like Seafood and Gender Equality (SAGE), are important for women in the seafood industry.

Sales and marketing in seafood have evolved, with social media playing a significant role in connecting with customers and offering value.

The industry needs to embrace new technologies, such as virtual reality, to enhance storytelling and customer experiences.

Advocacy for gender equality and creating opportunities for women in the industry is essential for progress.
