This research project uses case studies from coastal communities in four countries---Costa Rica, Germany, Scotland (UK), and the United States---to study the environmental and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on these communities. These communities depend on coastal communities that depend on coastal tourism (Blue Economy) for their livelihoods, but the pandemic led to drastic reduction in tourism and other economic activities in these communities. The project assesses which aspects of the Blue Economy communities prefer to recover; determinants of resilient and inclusive development of coastal communities; and determinants coastal communities that depend on coastal tourism (Blue Economy) for their livelihoods of socioeconomic performance. In addition, the project involves the training of early career researchers. The research pays particular attention to the resilience of vulnerable people, and possible strategies for recovery. The results of this research project provide inputs into policies to mitigate the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on communities living in environmentally sensitive coastal communities and the development of resilient and fair post-pandemic development of coastal economies. The results of this research could therefore help to establish the U.S. as a global leader in environmental and climate friendly development.This research project uses several methods and a comparative approach to study the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially on coastal economies that depend on environmental tourism (Blue Economy). Specifically, the project studies the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 and policy response to the pandemic; short- and long-term COVID-19 recovery strategies of the Blue Economy; barriers to coastal green and inclusive recovery policies; elements of successful resilience recovery strategies; and lessons and best practices transferable across risks and locations to efficiently respond to or prevent future crises. The project employs large-scale surveys of coastal regional authorities and businesses, discrete choice experiments to value future recovery scenarios, and expert interviews. The results of this research are shared with other academic institutions, partners, and key stakeholders in each country. The results of this research project provide inputs into policies to mitigate the negative consequences of the COVID-19 on communities living in environmentally sensitive coastal communities and the development resilient and fair post-pandemic development of coastal economies. The results of this research therefore help to establish the U.S. as a global leader in environmental and climate friendly development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该研究项目使用四个国家 /地区的沿海社区的案例研究 - 哥斯达黎加，德国，苏格兰（英国）和美国 - 研究Covid-19-19大流行对这些社区的环境和经济影响。 这些社区取决于沿海社区依靠沿海旅游业（蓝色经济）的生计，但大流行导致了这些社区的旅游业和其他经济活动的急剧下降。 该项目评估蓝色经济社区的哪些方面更喜欢恢复；沿海社区的韧性和包容性发展的决定因素；以及依赖沿海旅游业（蓝色经济）的沿海社区的社会经济表现。 此外，该项目涉及对早期职业研究人员的培训。该研究特别关注脆弱人群的韧性以及恢复的可能策略。 该研究项目的结果提供了对政策的投入，以减轻19009年大流行对居住在环境敏感沿海社区中的社区的负面影响，并发展沿海经济体的弹性和公平后大流行后发展。 因此，这项研究的结果可能有助于将美国建立为环境和气候友好发展方面的全球领导者。该研究项目使用了几种方法和一种比较方法来研究Covid-19-19的大流行的环境和社会经济影响，尤其是依赖环境旅游业（蓝色经济）的沿海经济体。 具体而言，该项目研究了Covid-19的社会经济影响和对大流行的政策反应。蓝色经济的短期和长期Covid-19恢复策略；沿海绿色和包容性恢复政策的障碍；成功的弹性恢复策略的要素；以及可以在风险和地点转移的课程和最佳实践，以有效地应对或防止将来的危机。该项目对沿海区域当局和企业进行了大规模调查，离散的选择实验以重视未来的恢复方案以及专家访谈。这项研究的结果与每个国家的其他学术机构，合作伙伴和主要利益相关者共享。 该研究项目的结果提供了对政策的投入，以减轻Covid-19对居住在环境敏感的沿海社区的社区以及沿海经济中大流行后发展的发展。 因此，这项研究的结果有助于将美国作为环境和气候友好发展方面的全球领导者建立。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评论标准的评估值得支持的。
