The impact of COVID-19 on the European small-scale fisheries industry​

Cristina Pita,  Senior Researcher, Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies

​​​​​​​​​​​In late March 2020, soon after the COVID-19 pandemic caused a European lockdown, a group of social scientists working on small-scale fisheries (SSF) in Europe carried out a rapid assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on European SSF. We conducted structured phone interviews with representatives of European SSF organizations (producer organizations, associations, cooperatives, etc.) and collected information from representatives of 115 organizations, from 12 European countries, about the socioeconomic impact of COVID-19 on the activity, the impact on health and wellbeing, and the measures adopted to face this pandemic.
