The previous crisis, in 1993-94, which was even more serious because of the long-term collapse in prices linked to the high level of indebtedness borne by shipowners, set off a domino effect: vessels were laid up (including the newest vessels); vessels were scrapped and fishing undertakings restructured; fisheries activities collapsed in several ports; fisheries-related jobs were lost, with knock-on effects on the economies of neighbouring small regions; there were fewer staff at maritime schools and fewer young sailors; the profession of fisherman was brought into disrepute; and management and financial structures within the fisheries sector were undermined.
