Fishing is the primary source of income and employment for the community, which is typically located near the fishing area. Women fishermen are pertinent to the family economy because they help to market product-based fisheries, which provide additional income for the household. Furthermore, during the monsoon season, women fishermen play a key role. The purpose of this paper is to revalidate women's participation in the Entrepreneurship Scale using the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). This study indicates that a variety of factors influence women fishermen's participation in entrepreneurship activities. Concerning the recommendation, stakeholders should better understand and encourage women fishermen to become entrepreneurs in order to help raise the living standards of the fishing community.
