On Ulithi Atoll in the western Pacific region, women have a clear role and defined rights in the community distribution of fish catches. This is because the mahogany logs from nearby Yap Island used in making the fishing canoes are obtained through the exchange of cloth made by the women of Ulithi. Small-scale reef fisheries also support the involvement of local businesswomen and their involvement can give them greater control over their household income, and in negotiating for loans or credit. Thus their role is not only important in providing income for their families, it also underpins the economy of the local village.

Boats for use by the inhabitants of Ulithi are constructed on Yap Island.

A decade ago, in one of the most intriguing and in equal parts disturbing experiments in behavioural psychology, S. Milgram of Yale University tested dozens of subjects from all walks of life for their willingness to obey instructions given by a ‘leader’ in a situation in which they might feel a personal distaste for the actions they were called upon to perform. Specifically, Milgram told each volunteer that the experiment was in the name of a noble cause, and was designed to test whether or not punishing pupils for their wrongdoings would have a positive effect on the pupils' educational attainment.

Several of the subjects were psychology graduates from Yale University.

Reef flats and shallow reef lagoons are accessible on foot, without the need for a boat, and so allow women, children and the elderly to engage directly in manual harvesting, or ‘reef-gleaning’. This is a significant factor distinguishing reef-based fisheries from near-shore sea fisheries. Near-shore fisheries are typically the domain of adult males, in particular where they involve the use of boats, with women and children restricted mainly to shore-based activities. However, in a coral reef fishery the physical accessibility of the reef opens up opportunities for direct participation by women, and consequently increases their independence and the importance of their role in the community.

Involvement in coral-reef-based occupations raises the status of women.
