Women of Fisheries was founded 4 years ago in July 2018 as a private discussion group for women in fisheries science. Since then, Women of Fisheries has grown from 3 founders to a support group of over 1,700 women in fisheries science and a non-profit organization with a mission to connect, support, and amplify the experiences of women in fisheries science. In celebration of our 4th anniversary, here are 4 ways to celebrate our accomplishments and share our hope for the future.

1. Meet Women of Fisheries, Inc.

Check out the “About Us” page where we share our mission, bylaws, and code of conduct.

Meet the women that keep Women of Fisheries moving and evolving: the Board and Social Media Committee

2. Become familiar with our efforts to support women in fisheries science

Visit our Initiatives and Resources pages for current and upcoming efforts to connect and support women in our field.

3. Look inward
