Descripción
Referring to surveys carried out in April and November 2020, a recent FAO publication published on the impact of COVID-19 on fisheries and aquaculture (FAO, 2020) confirms what everyone suspected: the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the work of regional fishery bodies (RFBs).
This second assessment offers noteworthy figures: in November, 50 percent of regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) reported that the negative impacts of the pandemic had been as expected; 41 percent found that negative impacts had been greater than expected; and 9 percent found that impacts had been lower than expected. On the other hand, surveys conducted with Regional Fisheries Advisory Bodies (RFABs) in the same month revealed that: 28 percent found that negative impacts had been as expected; 61 percent found that negative impacts had been greater than expected; and 11 percent found that impacts had been lower than expected.
