More than a webinar — a global conversation.
Hosted by Thoondil Ecosystem and the WFGN Initiative. The Women Fisheries Graduate Network (WFGN) connects women graduates, students, researchers, professionals, innovators and institutions across fisheries, aquaculture, marine sciences, sustainability and the blue economy.
This summit marks the official launch of the WFGN media platform — and the beginning of a more honest, inclusive, youth-driven conversation about the future of the fisheries sector. The sessions are discussion-driven, debate-oriented and highly interactive — focused on practical realities rather than formal presentations.
“A trained woman fisheries graduate without an opportunity is not a failure of talent — it is a failure of the ecosystem.”
Why this summit matters
- Too many talented women graduates remain invisible after graduation.
- Too many students are trained academically but disconnected from opportunity.
- Too many conversations in fisheries remain restricted to conference halls and formal presentations.
WFGN wants to change that.
