Aim: Like many other countries, Iran has been exposed to the COVID-19 pandemic and its different economic and environmental implications. So, the research studies the economic and environmental consequences of COVID-19 in the Makoran coast of Sistan and Baluchistan province that supplies nearly 60% of the demand for fish in Iran.
Materials and Methods: The research is an applied study in terms of goal and a descriptive study in terms of data collection method, which was conducted by the cross-sectional survey method.
Findings: A comparison of the period of January-June 2020 (COVID-19 conditions) versus the similar period in the year 2019 (normal conditions) in the economic sector showed that the fishermen’s income, catch rate, and employment have decreased and their unemployment has increased. In the environmental sector, the pandemic and the related restrictions have increased seawater pollution and waste production.
Conclusion:  These changes, which have seemingly increased by the culmination of the COVID-19 pandemic, have had irreparable consequences for the fisheries sector.
Suggestions: Governmental support from the management of demand and supply markets and its plans to support fishermen are recommended as approaches to tackling the crisis. Given the emergence of new strains of COVID-19, such as alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and omicron, it is necessary to conduct long-term studies to determine the full range of the pandemic.

Transfer of inheritance and accumulated savings to future generations as a factor affecting the income inequalities for the next generations and as a key variable in government expenses allocated to socio-economic services and social security has always been a controversial subject for research. In this study, using a panel data, in a structure based on traditional culture in Sistan and Baluchestan province, it is tried to determine how the households make decisions on inheritance and which social, economic and demographic factors have greater impact on such decisions in a dual urban life. For this purpose, firstly, the Altonji and Villanueva model or the "income-wealth derivative" was considered as a base framework. Then, with regard to the charitable behavior of the province households, some variables are set for the model. After that, the Data Panel for the years 2001-2006 with nearly 1600 tax cases are analyzed which are prepared through inheritance tax cases and personal visits. Then using the statistical software of STATA 9.1, data were analyzed. To determine the fixed and random effect, the Hausman test was also used. Finally, the results related to the scheme hypothesis are reviewed. Findings indicate a difference in behavior and some form of harmony respect to dual structures of each society. It means that, with improving the economic wellbeing in Zahedan city, inheritance increases, but in case of low-income societies, inheritance will decrease. In other words, Wagner theory, arguing per capita income growth from the perspective of citizens’ behavior within different structures and changes in income elasticity of goods for the households in terms of effects on the inheritance transfer model can be easily seen in different behavioral coefficients.
