Regional specificities of changes in fisheries during the war: a comparison of southern and western Ukraine

The war in Ukraine has caused large-scale destruction in the fisheries sector, manifested in the loss of production capacities, degradation of natural water bodies, and a sharp decline in both exports and domestic production of aquaculture products. Under these conditions, international assistance and humanitarian programs represent one of the key mechanisms for supporting the industry, aimed not only at compensating current losses but also at creating the foundation for post-war recovery and modernization. An important feature of such support is its multi-level character: it encompasses financial, technical, infrastructural, and expert assistance, which makes it fundamental in overcoming the crisis in the fisheries sector.
