During autumn 2017, 700 seafood professionals agreed to share their perception on the situation of women at their workplace and in their industry in general. Their precise answers and enlightening comments were analysed to produce this reports exploratory survey which fills in some knowledge gaps, feeds the debate and identifies new avenues to address the challenge. Quantitative studies tell us that globally women represent 50% of all seafood workers and that female workers are consistently over-represented in low skilled, low paid, low valued positions, remaining mostly absent at the other end of the value chain. Research data also tells us that highpowered positions are to a large extent occupied by men. The gender division of labour in this industry is heavily unbalanced which is a critical problem and an important challenge for the industry. This problem has gradually grown in visibility in the past two years, although it has not found a way to become a priority on the agenda of fisheries and aquaculture businesses. Based on this observation, the International Organisation for Women in the Seafood Industry (WSI) was founded in 2016 to bring the gender (in)equality discussion to seafood stakeholders. In the Gender on the Agenda survey we ask male and female seafood professionals to express their views and talk about their experience of the situation from a gender point of view, and if and how changes could be driven. If this survey has only one goal, it is to help and support that changes happen. We recall that some 20 years ago, proven data showed that globally marine resources were in a critical state. Marine scientists and some people in the fishing industry warned fishing communities about this alarming situation; however a majority of stakeholders preferred to close their eyes. Today ignoring environmental sustainability is no longer an option for responsible stakeholders. As it has happened for environmental issues in the past decade, we believe that alleviating gender inequalities will soon occupy a full chapter in corporate social responsibility reports made by those operating in the seafood business and will have to be taken into account by professional associations. We also believe that it will no longer be ignored. The report is available at: https://wsi-asso.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/WSI-Survey-2018.pdf
