The document discusses the fishing sectors of several European countries including Spain, Greece, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Spain has a long coastline rich in fish resources and a long tradition of fishing. Greece is promoting fishing tourism to support fishermen's livelihoods and protect aquatic environments. France is a major producer of seafood in the EU, deriving most production from fish and mollusks. Italy's fishing production has declined in recent years while aquaculture has grown. The UK has the second largest fishing sector in the EU in terms of production volume and value.
