Globally, fisheries have been the site of multiple documented outbreaks of COVID-19. Existing studies point to the threat posed by the pandemic to livelihoods and health among migrant industrial fishery workers, small-scale fish harvesters, and fishing communities. They show the pandemic enhanced safety, economic, social and political layers of vulnerability in fisheries, while also showcasing examples of resilience. Case studies of COVID-19 response provide an opportunity to explore how existing organizational structures, leadership and networks in fisheries can enable the rapid co-development of customized strategies for fishing safely during large-scale global disruptions such as pandemics. This article contributes to our understanding of governance and fishing safety in small-scale fisheries during the early pandemic, examining the response of small-scale fisheries in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. These seasonal fisheries successfully opened with regulator approval after a short delay and operated without documented COVID-19 outbreaks during 2020. Findings draw from key informant interviews with a safety sector association and union leader, complemented with insights from an anonymous online survey of small-scale harvesters. Interviews capture the organizational processes and resources mobilized to rapidly co-develop the COVID-19 Safe Work Practice Guideline. Online survey findings indicate that fifty-nine percent of respondents (crew and skippers) had no COVID-19-related concerns while fishing in 2020; older harvesters and owner-operators were significantly more likely to indicate concerns. When asked about the relative practicality of listed COVID-19 precautions, respondents commonly identified sanitization, reduced interactions with shore workers, social distancing, protection equipment, modifications to eating/rest areas, and reduced crew as impractical. These assessments are generally consistent with those of the interviewed leaders and the Guideline approach. This suggests the co-developed Guideline provided tailored and practical COVID-19 prevention strategies. Pre-existing governance structures and networks can help address small-scale fisheries vulnerabilities to pandemics by supporting co-development of organizational resources and evidence-informed prevention strategies.

在 COVID-19 期间在加拿大纽芬兰和拉布拉多安全钓鱼:让它成为现实

在全球范围内,渔业一直是多次有记录的 COVID-19 爆发的场所。现有研究指出,大流行病对移徙工业渔业工人、小型捕鱼者和渔业社区的生计和健康构成威胁。它们表明,大流行加强了渔业的安全、经济、社会和政治层面的脆弱性,同时也展示了恢复力的例子。应对 COVID-19 的案例研究提供了一个机会,可以探索渔业中现有的组织结构、领导力和网络如何能够在大流行病等大规模全球中断期间快速共同制定安全捕鱼的定制战略。这篇文章有助于我们了解早期大流行期间小型渔业的治理和捕捞安全,检查加拿大纽芬兰和拉布拉多省小型渔业的反应。这些季节性渔业在短暂延迟后在监管机构的批准下成功开放,并在 2020 年期间在没有记录的 COVID-19 爆发的情况下运营。调查结果来自对安全部门协会和工会领导人的关键线人访谈,并补充了对小规模匿名在线调查的见解收割机。访谈记录了为快速共同制定 COVID-19 安全工作实践指南而调动的组织流程和资源。在线调查结果表明,59% 的受访者(船员和船长)在 2020 年捕鱼时没有与 COVID-19 相关的担忧;年长的收割者和业主经营者更有可能表示担忧。当被问及列出的 COVID-19 预防措施的相对实用性时,受访者普遍认为消毒、减少与岸上工作人员的互动、社交距离、保护设备、改造饮食/休息区以及减少船员人数是不切实际的。这些评估与受访领导者的评估和指南方法大体一致。这表明共同制定的指南提供了量身定制且实用的 COVID-19 预防策略。现有的治理结构和网络可以通过支持组织资源和循证预防战略的共同开发,帮助解决小规模渔业对流行病的脆弱性。修改饮食/休息区,并减少船员是不切实际的。这些评估与受访领导者的评估和指南方法大体一致。这表明共同制定的指南提供了量身定制且实用的 COVID-19 预防策略。预先存在的治理结构和网络可以通过支持组织资源和循证预防战略的共同开发,帮助解决小规模渔业对流行病的脆弱性。修改饮食/休息区,并减少船员是不切实际的。这些评估与受访领导者的评估和指南方法大体一致。这表明共同制定的指南提供了量身定制且实用的 COVID-19 预防策略。预先存在的治理结构和网络可以通过支持组织资源和循证预防战略的共同开发,帮助解决小规模渔业对流行病的脆弱性。
