The city lost two-thirds of its seafood processing capacity over the weekend.
. “This is the biggest disaster the San Francisco fishing fleet has ever seen,” local fisher Sarah Bates told the paper.that the losses were likely in the $4 to $5 million range—and while the cause of the fire is still being investigated, the station reported that many fishermen are unable to get fire insurance, meaning they may have no way to recoup the losses. “It's bad, 30 families lost everything,” Collins added.
The Port of San Francisco or other city groups will hopefully be able to help with assistance—financial or otherwise—but as of yesterday, no plan was yet in place. “We understand this is a tragic loss, we're going to put our heads together for solutions,” Port spokesperson Randy Quezada was quoted as saying.San Francisco fishing fleet fire recovery
” seeking to raise $1 million “to reequip fishing businesses with the gear necessary to continue working and bringing fresh seafood to San Francisco,” according to the campaign. “As a community, we have lost approximately 2/3 of the capacity to harvest the fresh seafood that is delivered to San Francisco and the essence of our livelihoods.” As of this writing, over $56,000 had been raised from over 500 people.
The impact is terrible across the board, but things look especially troubling for the upcoming Dungeness crab season this fall. Beyond the cost of replacement, the crab pots needed for fishing are labor-intensive to assemble, according to Collins, meaning getting back to full fishing capacity will be virtually impossible.
