FYI. This national report and a number of species have been out for a little while now. However, the North Central Region report was just placed on the website yesterday. The link is below and can also be found here: <a href="https://www.arec.vaes.vt.edu/arec/virginia-seafood/research/Impacts_of_COVID19.html" class="">https://www.arec.vaes.vt.edu/arec/virginia-seafood/research/Impacts_of_COVID19.html</a>.
Please share as you see fit.
