The study, which covers March to June, also examined data on fish landings and found that the catch for some species, such as squid and scallops, decreased compared with previous years. But the catch for other species, such as black sea bass and haddock, was on par with or higher than previous years, suggesting that many fishermen fished as much as they had been before the pandemic, while earning less income. They may have kept fishing to pay their bills or crew, or to maintain their livelihoods or their quotas until markets rebound, said main author Sarah Lindley Smith, a post-doctoral associate in the Department of Human Ecology in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. Most of the fishermen who stopped fishing during the early months of the pandemic planned to resume fishing instead of leaving the industry.

I’ve gotta give points to Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small for a creative way to raise money for a good cause.

MANNINGTON – Alyssa Ward s race didn’t strike her, or her husband, as relevant until their farming efforts were well underway.
But the connection surfaced for Ward, a Black woman whose parents are from different parts of the Caribbean, while exploring the Internet.
“I follow online a lot of, like, ‘Black girls gardening’ and Black girl farmers,’” she said. “So, these people started these pages as a community for Black females to learn. And I think the one girl, what she said on the page was because, when she started just doing backyard planting, gardening, and looking up stuff online herself … she didn’t see people who looked like her.”
