This infographic sheds light into gleaning fisheries, an under-researched fishery often led by women, and their contribution to food and nutrition security in coastal areas. It presents key findings from different data sources, such as gleaning catches and a census survey conducted in coastal hamlets of seven villages, as well as results from a seasonal nutrition survey conducted in four coastal villages and nutrient composition analysis of aquatic foods commonly consumed in Timor-Leste. It concludes that, importantly, incorporating women's practices, knowledge, and voices into coastal management and governance enhances environmental justice and is vital for the sustainability of marine resources.
