“…Recreational fisherwomen tend to exhibit higher awareness about animal welfare and environmental conservation compared to fishermen [24], which could contribute to reducing the negative impacts on fish stocks derived from the increased participation of women if they were enabled to fish in ways that coincide with these values. However, it seems that angling women retain more fish, mainly large fish with higher reproductive potential for consumption than men, who release more legal fish, including large ones, and are more supportive of regulations limiting efforts [8].…”

“…and Pacific oceans [6,7]. The contribution of marine recreational fishing (MRF) to social welfare also includes non-market benefits generated by recreational fishing experiences [8]. In addition, benefits for the health and well-being of recreational fishers have been described [9], mainly derived from the reduction in stress and from seafood-rich diets, with direct implications for public health services [10].…”

One of the most relevant information gaps in worldwide fisheries is related to the origin and consequences of the gender gap. Recreational fisheries show a remarkable gender gap, which has been especially poorly addressed in the scientific literature. In 2021, the Spanish Working Group on Marine Recreational Fishing (MRF) developed a broad diagnosis on the participation of women in MRF and agreed on a roadmap to address negative impacts derived from the gender gap. The network experts concluded that there is an urgent need to include the gender gap in the agendas of scientists, fishery managers, policy-makers, stakeholder organizations, and civil society. There is a need to better understand the gender-related socio-ecological impacts of MRF to improve fisheries governance and to develop policies and initiatives that facilitate the full access of women to the benefits derived from the practice of MRF. Establishing economic incentives, increasing the visibility of female success references, developing fishing-related programs specifically designed for girls, and promoting the perception of MRF as a family leisure activity in contact with nature will increase women’s engagement.

“…Therefore, it is comprehensible that different sectors use different arguments to defend their own positions. The recreational fishing sector is generally supported by its economic returns (Brown, 2016;Scheufele & Pascoe, 2021) and additional non-market related social benefits (e.g., Buchanan, 1985;Driver et al, 1991;Toth & Brown, 1997;Pitcher 1999) which are less tangible and more difficult to quantify (Griffiths et al, 2017).…”

It is recreational but profitability also matters: A cost-effective economic approach to marine recreational fishing in Spain

This study analyses the costs of marine recreational activity in Spain for the main fishing modalities and provides a cost-effective economic indicator (CEI) for each of them. The activity costs of 4,999 fishers were collected through an online survey, along with other fishing information. The published results of this survey, catch rates and catch composition, have been used in this study. Daily expenses per fisher were estimated by dividing reported annual expenses by annual fishing days. The CEI was estimated as the ratio of the market value of one kilo of recreational catch to the cost of catching it. The CEI showed differences between modalities in all regions, but of varying magnitudes. It is concluded that the CEI could diagnose the risk level of evolving from recreational towards subsistence fishing. The higher the CEI, the more compensatory the activity and the greater the possibility of moving away from a purely recreational activity in adverse economic conditions.
