Women in Fishing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Abidjan, women in the artisanal fishing sector offer work to young people <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, more than half of the population is under 20 years old. In artisanal fishing communities such as Abidjan, San Pedro and Grand-Bereby, many young people are desperate for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the scarcity of fish, becoming a fisherman or a woman fish processor is almost mission impossible. With a very low school attendance – on average, only a third of young people in fishing communities have had access to education, half that of young people nationally – finding a job outside the artisanal fishing sector is even more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give these young people a future in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, the women of the Co-operative des Mareyeuses et Transformatrices des ProduitsHalieutiquesd\u2019Abidjan (CMATPHA) have reacted. They got together and decided to make room for them in the artisanal fish processing sector. \u201cWe are their mothers, we couldn\u2019t stand by and do nothing,\u201d explains Micheline Dion Somplehi, president of the co-operative. In a show of solidarity, the women agreed to share the benefits of their activities with the young people, entrusting them with various tasks, such as unloading the catches and preparing the fish for processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the pirogues arrive, young men armed with basins go to meet them to unload the catches and take them to the sites where the women process the fish or to the refrigerators where the fish will be stored. Being a \u2018chargeur\u2019 (loader) is a full-time job during the high fishing season. It involves not only unloading the fish from the pirogues, but also putting the fish on ice, organising storage, cleaning the freezers. They are paid by the women processors they supply, 100 CFA francs per basin brought in. The fisherman whose catches they unload also offers them some fish for their consumption. At the end of the day, if they have unloaded several pirogues, they may have received enough fish to sell some, which enables them to improve their income…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood Salmon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An average diver dies per month in the Chilean salmon industry during 2021 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On average, one diver died per month in the Chilean salmon industry during 2021. The new death of a diver in a salmon farming center from the mega company Aqua Chile, owned by the Agros\u00faper holding, marks the average of one worker death per month in this billionaire export industry during 2021.The diver-shellfish diver Andr\u00e9s Alejandro TeigelColiague (41), died while lifting the moorings of the rafts-cages of the Gala 2 culture center, located in the Ays\u00e9nregion.As is customary in the Chilean salmon industry, Teigel worked sub-contracted by the SGM Austral company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Patagonian region of Aysen, there is an exponential territorial and productive increase in salmon monoculture which is being accompanied by a procession of successive deaths of divers. This is other consequence of the precarious working conditions in this industry that uses the \u201ctemporary subcontracting system\u201d of workers, without the intervention of the regional authorities, the Directorate of Maritime Territory (Directemar), dependent on the Chilean Navy, the Labour Inspection, and state agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the mega company Aqua Chile, this is the second death of a subcontracted diver in its farming centers this year. On February 9, H\u00e9ctor Lagos Pe\u00f1ailillo, (42), died due to the precarious diving protocols that exist in a farming center in the town of Melinka. The worker had been sub-hired by the Society for Aquaculture Projects and Submarine Services (Passub). Previously, on January 25, 2021, a 16-year-old adolescent diver died while doing underwater work in a salmon farm near Ipun Island, also in the Melinka area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 25 February 2021, the artisanal fisher diver Cristian Diaz (60) died in the Concheo 2 farming center, Aysen region, owned by the mega-company SalmonesBlumar. D\u00edaz had been sub-contracted by the company Servicios Prime SpA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International markets and consumers are already identifying Chilean productions as the \u201cblood salmon from the south of the world,\u201d Ecoceanos Centre said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
