Marina is a coastal city with a vibrant tourist industry. Oysters from local seafood restaurants are very popular with both locals and tourists. Recent events related to the Covid-19 disease resulted in a severe shortage of migrant farmworkers who process (chuck) the shellfish before they are sold to restaurants in the city. In addition, most of the restaurants that sell shellfish are closed due to the lockdown and lack of tourists.

a)   Explain, with graphs and words, the expected short-run effects of the above events on the market for oysters. Your explanation should include the effects, if any, on demand, supply, price, and quantity (20 points).

b)   What do you expect to happen in the market in the long-run (5 points)?
