By the time he came to write the string quartets referred to as Opus 76 and Opus 77, Haydn was undoubtedly the most famous living composer in all of Europe.

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.

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.
