STEINHATCHEE, Fla. (WTXL) â The coronavirus pandemic has hit fishermen hard across the country. Now, a nonprofit is casting a lifeline to an industry so many depend on. Itâs not only saving jobs; itâs also feeding families desperate for fresh food.
The small, fishing community of Steinhatchee has weathered many storms over the years.
âWhoâs to say what happens next year? God forbid,â said Jim Zurbrick. He and his wife Patty have been here through most of them, including the one no one forecasted, the coronavirus pandemic.
