The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic impacts have brought the resiliency of coastal communities into greater focus and highlighted the vulnerability of seafood trade and supply chains to large-scale shocks. In order for coastal communities to be equipped to meet future socio-environmental crises, it is necessary to take a deeper look at how fisheries management, marine spatial planning, labor diversification, labor mobility, and linkages between marine-related industries and alternative economic activities (e.g., aquaculture, shipping, tourism) influence coastal communities’ well-being. This seminar provides a forum for homing in on the challenges faced by coastal communities and opportunities for building resilience.
