Who will take over European fishing? Science warns of a silent problem

Environmental Science Science and Society

European artisanal fishing is at a turning point. Beyond its economic importance—modest on a macroeconomic scale, but vital for many coastal communities—it represents identity, culture, and a way of life passed down through generations. A recent study published in Fish & Fisheries, one of the world’s most influential journals in fisheries science (ranked among the top international journals), provides new insights into a problem that is quietly advancing: the lack of generational renewal in European fisheries. This work also has added value: it has been led mainly by two young researchers in training, Andrea Márquez and Meritxell Maimí, accompanied by two professors also linked to the Gandia Campus of the UPV and...
