The Impact of COVID-19 on Small-scale Fisheries and Coastal Tourism: A Case Study of Mirissa - Colombo 08 International Centre for Ethnic Studies (ICES) 2023 - 61p.
The rapid global spread of COVID-19 had profound social and economic
repercussions. Coastal communities, which were already susceptible to various
social and environmental changes, found themselves further marginalized due to
the virus and the preventive measures enforced by governments. Our understanding
of how COVID-19 impacted the different facets of coastal communities in Sri Lanka
remains limited. To bridge this gap, this study gathered information about the
effects on livelihoods, support from various entities, and the adaptive capabilities
of individuals involved in small-scale fisheries and the tourism sector in Mirissa,
Sri Lanka.
