The current global pandemic has affected our national health, economy, and our daily lives. For fisherpeople in the United States, the massive decline in demand for fish has meant that boats sit docked, with no market for fish. Instead of focusing efforts and resources on supporting hardworking fisherpeople, the Trump administration, fueled by special interests, has been busy rolling back protections on ocean sanctuaries, a move that does not restore the livelihoods of fisherpeople and instead threatens the health of our oceans for generations to come. These ocean sanctuaries are home to creatures that exist nowhere else on earth, are critical to resiliency in the face of climate change by offering areas for fish stocks to rebuild, and provide important protections for coastal areas that mitigate climate risks, like sea level rise and extreme weather events, that are already destroying communities and disproportionately impacting Black and brown folks.
