Fishermen across the East say their industry is on a knife edge due to the Covid-19 crisis


Fiskebåtarna i Lowestoft ligger stilla...

 

Fishermen across the East say their industry is on a knife edge as the market for their catch dries up due to the coronavirus crisis.

At Leigh on Sea in Essex, fisherman Paul Gibson says he's experienced several challenges over the years, none of which amount to this scale.
-The fishing industry is in absolute turmoil, ports have closed because of lack of demand, getting fish to supermarkets or to the continent where in the South East most of our fish goes, the markets have stopped.

Covid-19 follows years of decline in the industry here in the East, but now it could be fatal.
Fish sales to pubs and restaurants in the UK are almost non-existent due to the lockdown and those dealing in white fish sold to countries on the continent have been hit especially hard.
In neighbouring counties the story is the same. Lowestofts fish market in Suffolk is currently closed and boats are staying in the harbour.
