Abstract:
The Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic that spread in Indonesia has impacted the Indonesian economy,
especially the local fisheries industry. This virus not only takes lives but also the economic activities
of the community. Moreover, the Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) policy has also prevented
people from doing activities outside their homes, such as work, schooling, and activities that involve
many people. This policy prevents and makes it difficult for fishermen to market their catches. This
research uses an open-ended survey with 56 regular fishermen as respondents. The results of this
research show that, overall, fishermen experience disadvantageous impacts during the Covid-19
pandemic. The income of fishermen before the Covid-19 pandemic was 292,098,464.2857 in contrast
to 105,195,517.8571 during the Covid-19 pandemic. |
