Abstract

Capture fisheries is a profitable, healthy, dynamic and evolving economic sector, which provides employment to 39 million people worldwide. Fishers produce 96 million tonnes of fish and fisheries products for human consumption, and play therefore a very important role in achieving global food security (FAO, 2020a). The COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdowns, movement and business restrictions have a negative impact on the health and safety, income, employment and general livelihoods of those working in the fisheries sector, as well as on the fish value chain and availability of fish for human consumption.
