For nearly two years, local, regional, and global fisheries and seafood supply chains have been forced to adjust and adapt to the unprecedented conditions brought on by the COVID-19 global pandemic. Across the diverse landscape that makes up the global seafood sector, fishers, communities, industry, and governments have developed an array of strategies, innovations, and coping mechanisms to ensure survival— of their families, communities, and businesses. Some of these responses have been more successful than others; some worked well at the beginning of the crisis but are now perhaps no longer as effective. Within this dynamic and rapidly evolving frontier, both vulnerabilities and opportunities have emerged. This study seeks to synthesize the complex conditions and outcomes to date, and provide an overview of the current landscape of change. Within that landscape we explore which trends or patterns emerged simply as stop gaps in a moment of crisis, and which shifts are likely to last in the long-term. The impacts of COVID-19 span economic, social, and environmental dimensions of the seafood sector, and continue to evolve depending on factors such as on-going government response strategies, vaccination rates, and emergence and spread of new virus variants. Given these dynamic conditions, this research does not attempt to be a comprehensive nor predictive exercise; rather, the objective is to provide a summary of major themes and analysis of how these patterns may stick (or not) depending on different existing drivers and enabling conditions in the system. The result is a snapshot of impacts and trends that appear common across a diverse range of geographies, fisheries, and supply chains, as well as where we see distinction.
