REGIONAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC STUDIES ON EMPLOYMENT AND THE LEVELS OF DEPENDENCY ON FISHING
In 1999,
the European Commission Directorate
General for Fisheries supported an EU-wide study of fisheries dependency at
regional level, implemented by consultants and research institutions in all 15
Member States. The study was coordinated and consolidated by Megapesca Lda and
the main results are presented here.
