Back Cover from Brazil, Columbia, Chile and Mexico, among other countries. The winners, the Guardians of the La Paz Bay, a group of strong women dedicated to oyster faming, showed why and how aquaculture has a great future and why we should support diversification. Presently the number of women involved in aquaculture is still limited, particularly in developing countries, facing substantive challenges including unfair gender norms (frequently cultural), limited access to assets, unpaid work, and barriers to sustaining entrepreneurship. The result is women having fewer opportunities. Writing this I also realized how fortunate I am as President of WAS to lead a very diverse Board of Directors as their ideas are always very rich, incorporating all their experience. Another thing I realized is how strong our female Board Members and collaborators are. For example, when you talk to Yahira Piedrahita from Ecuador, you are receiving the pulse of the largest shrimp producing country in the world. If you listen to Angela Caporelli, the day-to-day needs of the American industry permeate. Shivan and Foluke bring so much knowledge about rural aquaculture development, the plight of the African producer, and the labor challenges of the Asian region. Nicole Rhody has been tirelessly working to provide a better information platform for our students. I hope we can soon get contributions from them for WAM, showing insights and perspective of the role of women in aquaculture development. I also invite our members to send your contributions in this and other topics and, as always, I encourage you as Members of our Society to identify areas where you can contribute to improve research, technology development and production innovation, and share your ideas and projects at our conferences and in our publications. Please contact me, or our Board, Chapter representatives and the World Aquaculture Magazine Editor, Prof. Greg Lutz, with your thoughts. I´m looking forward to meeting you at one of our next World Aquaculture or regional conferences. Cheers. — Humberto Villareal, President, World Aquaculture Society
