Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted global fisheries, leading to decreased seafood demand, supply chain issues, and new safety regulations, which forced fishing communities to adapt.
- Research involving surveys, interviews, and focus groups was conducted in five U.S. fishing regions to examine the pandemic's effects and the responses from commercial fisheries.
- The study used a new framework (RAD) to categorize adaptation strategies and found that fishers with diverse options and flexibility were more resilient, suggesting that these adaptations could strengthen fisheries against future challenges.
