Women in Aquaculture Leadership Summit 2025
Hosted by Women in Caribbean Aquaculture and Women in Ocean FOod
I am very excited to share with you the very first virtual Leadership Summit for Women in Aquaculture hosted by Women in Caribbean Aquaculture and Women in Ocean Food March 10 to 21, 2025.
🌊 Introducing the Caribbean Women in Aquaculture Leadership Summit 🌊
This summit is a first-of-its-kind gathering designed to equip Caribbean women in aquaculture with the tools, networks, and confidence to lead. Through dynamic discussions, mentorship opportunities, and actionable strategies, we will address the key challenges preventing women from stepping into leadership roles, including:
🔹 Limited Access to Funding & Resources – Women-owned aquaculture businesses often struggle to secure financial support, making expansion and innovation difficult.
🔹 Gender Bias in Leadership – Decision-making roles are often dominated by men, sidelining women from high-level opportunities in research, policy, and industry leadership.
🔹 Balancing Work & Family Expectations – Many women juggle demanding roles at home and in their businesses without structural support, making career advancement more challenging. Women often lack time to take care of their health
🔹 Lack of Visibility & Mentorship – Women in aquaculture often lack strong role models and mentors who can guide them toward leadership pathways.
🔹 Cultural Norms & Industry Perception – In many Caribbean countries, leadership in aquaculture is still perceived as a male-driven space, discouraging women from pursuing executive roles.
This summit is about more than just conversation—it’s about action. Women will walk away with leadership training, funding insights, mentorship connections, and a clear strategy to break through barriers.
