Rising diesel prices hit US fishermen as Middle East conflict drives costs higher
Rising global diesel prices are squeezing industries across the United States. The conflict in the Middle East and disruptions to supply are driving fuel costs higher.In Maryland, fishermen are starting the blue crab season under pressure. Watermen like CJ Canby depend on diesel to power their boats, but higher prices are cutting into already thin margins.
As fuel costs rise, so do expenses across the industry. From bait to shipping, every part of the supply chain is affected. Early catches are modest, meaning fishermen must work harder to make up for the added cost.
Along the Chesapeake Bay, uncertainty is shaping the season. Business owners like Luke McFadden say diesel is essential for both boats and delivery trucks, leaving little room to adapt.
While support for President Donald Trump remains strong in the region, many are hoping for an end to the conflict to bring fuel prices down.
For now, fishermen face a difficult season where success depends not only on the catch, but on global events beyond their control.
