In September 2012, the European Commission (EC) adopted a Communication on blue growth which aims to develop the potential of the EU's seas, oceans and coasts to create employment and promote innovation and sustainable growth. A wide variety of marine and maritime economic activities fall within the sphere of this initiative, with five specific sectors identified by the EC as potential drivers of blue growth and, as such, future targets for particular support measures.

In September 2012, the European Commission put forward a blue growth strategy for the EU. Elaborated in the context of the EU's Integrated Maritime Policy, the initiative focuses upon the potential of the EU's marine and maritime sectors to contribute to sustainable economic recovery in Europe, and in particular to create new jobs and foster innovation.

The increasing use of seas and coasts for economic activities, the 'blue economy,' leads to growing and competing demands for maritime space. Maritime spatial planning (MSP) is a relatively new approach to overall planning of the use of seas and coastal areas. In March 2013, the European Commission proposed a Directive that would oblige Member States to make maritime spatial plans and coordinate them with other MS.

Este estudio analiza la estructura y el rendimiento económico de la pesca costera artesanal en Europa. Se identifican 18 agrupaciones principales dentro del sector y se presenta su distribución por regiones NUTS 2.
