The pandemic has exposed us all personally as well as economically and made us re-evaluate our priorities. That has certainly been true in the marine world – not that fish and shellfish are worrying about when they might get the vaccine, but that commercial fishing activity has slowed down due to high costs and reduced markets. Recreational fishing, however, has ramped up, along with many other outdoor activities, as people hunger to get outside where they can both enjoy nature and also enjoy being with other people safely. ~ Susan Olcott
