Fishing Industry in Veracruz Affected by Coronavirus Pandemic

VERACRUZ, MEXICO - MAY 26: Fisherman Sem Sanchez Serrano steers his fishing boat before gathering a bait fishing net he cast the night before, off the shore of Playa Villa del Mar on May 26, 2020 in Veracruz, Mexico. Fishermen claim a decrease on sales around 50% due to the COVID-19 pandemic, making it even harder to make ends meet with their already modest-earning jobs. The city of Veracruz has one of the oldest and biggest ports in Mexico, and provides seafood to many regions of the country. The fishing industry has been severely affected after the closure of restaurants and hotels in the region, as well as the seafood section in the Central de Abasto in Mexico City, the biggest produce provider in the country.
