Innovative recruitment strategies in the fisheries sector : France

In France, the fisheries sector is supported by the state for its important place in the economy of certain coastal areas, particularly Brittany - which has both industrial and artisanal fleets, but also the Mediterranean coast, mainly artisanal. Fishing is a sector that can create employment opportunities in coastal areas where there are few alternatives. In addition, fishing activities play a role in the attractiveness of the coastline from a tourism perspective. It has been estimated that the tourism industry in French coastal areas generates a turnover greater than 20 billion euros.
