A total of 260 million people are estimated to be employed full-time or part-time in the marine fisheries sector (Teh and Sumaila, 2013) and 25 million in the inland fisheries sector (Funge Smith and Bennet, 2019), with approximately half of these individuals being women (Kruijssen et al., 2020). This number also includes associated postharvest activities like fish processing and marketing. From 2011 to 2020, aquaculture produced the remaining fish, with fisheries accounting for over 70% of fish production by weight in Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania, and about 60% of fish production by weight in Asia except China, which in 2020 produced about 15% of all captures worldwide—more than all of the second- and third-ranked nations combined (FAO, 2022). Healthy fisheries can boost community resilience and aid in adaptation to the effects of climate change by ensuring food security and sustaining livelihoods. Furthermore, as a type of “blue carbon,” healthy fisheries can aid in the cycling and sequestration of carbon (Mariani et al., 2020). Since fish is a highly
