To connect and champion women in the seafood industry and contribute to an inclusive industry where people, businesses and communities can thrive.

Women are connected and supported to participate, contribute and lead in a seafood industry that recognises and values diversity and inclusion.

We connect and support women, strengthen their visibility and influence, and work with members, allies and industry leaders to promote inclusive practices across the seafood industry.

WISA's primary focus is to connect, support and champion women in the seafood industry, in all their diversity. We recognise that women's experiences of participation, opportunity and leadership are shaped by intersecting identities, cultures, locations, circumstances and lived experience.

By listening to members, seeking out perspectives that are less often heard, and working with allies and industry partners, we strengthen our work for women and promote an industry in which diverse knowledge, expertise and contributions are recognised and valued.

WISA's work is centred in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. We also seek relationships and opportunities across New Guinea and the wider Indo-Pacific where they align with WISA's purpose, priorities and available capacity.

WISA acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of land, sea and sky, recognising their deep, enduring connection to these places. We pay our respects to Elders past and present who hold the knowledge, culture and spiritual connections to land, sky and waters and whose guidance continues to shape their sustainable, ethical and responsible care.

We recognise Māori as tangata whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand and respect the district First Nations and Indigenous peoples, cultures and knowledge systems across New Guinea and the wider Indo-Pacific region.
