“A marine fisheries researcher and former Girls Who Fish participant is launching a sister version of the Petty Harbour program in Japan.
Girls Who Fish is a year-round, biweekly program that teaches women and girls how to fish and empowers them to consider a career on the water.
“In Japan we don’t have many programs that [are] dedicated to women and girls, so that’s the first thing that I felt when I joined this program,” said Yinji Li, an associate professor at Tokai University.”
