Dolores Gomez not only leads shellfish gatherers in the male-dominated Galician seafood sector but also places feminism front and centre in the conversation.

Dolores Gómez Ordoñez has been the President of Mulleres Salgadas since 2019. Mulleres Salgadas is an association of shellfish gatherers in Spain. It was founded in 2016 and was initially called Asociación de Mulleres do mar de Arousa, and confined its activities to areas around the Arousa estuary and the provinces of A Coruña and Pontevedra. In later years, the organization became autonomous and changed its name to Mulleres Salgadas-Asociación Galega de Mulleres do Mar, and gradually spread throughout the whole territory of Galicia.
