<br/><br/> The rapid global spread of COVID-19 had profound social and economic<br/>repercussions. Coastal communities, which were already susceptible to various<br/>social and environmental changes, found themselves further marginalized due to<br/>the virus and the preventive measures enforced by governments. Our understanding<br/>of how COVID-19 impacted the different facets of coastal communities in Sri Lanka<br/>remains limited. To bridge this gap, this study gathered information about the<br/>effects on livelihoods, support from various entities, and the adaptive capabilities<br/>of individuals involved in small-scale fisheries and the tourism sector in Mirissa,<br/>Sri Lanka.
