We interviewed the Nicobarese tribal community ( = 95) of Car Nicobar Island situated in the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, India to analyze the impact of COVID-19-related restrictions on their coastal fishing activities. Our surveys revealed a significant reduction ( < 0.001) in the average monthly income and fish catches during pre and post-COVID-19 scenarios. Constraints faced during the pandemic-related restrictions and the possible solutions to reinforce the fishing activities were highlighted for sustainable resource management in Car Nicobar Island.
我们采访了位于印度安达曼和尼科巴群岛的卡尼科巴岛的尼科巴部落社区(n = 95),以分析与新冠疫情相关的限制措施对其沿海捕鱼活动的影响。我们的调查显示,在新冠疫情前后,月平均收入和捕鱼量显著减少(p < 0.001)。为了卡尼科巴岛的可持续资源管理,强调了在疫情相关限制期间面临的制约因素以及加强捕鱼活动的可能解决方案。
