Small-scale fisheries in the European Union (EU) represent approximately 80% of the EU fishing fleet and half of the EU total fleet effort, providing employment and welfare to thousands of people, and being a fundamental contributor to poverty alleviation and food security. In the context of digitalization, this sector has not yet fully adopted technological advances in the EU. The implementation of latest technologies will raise new opportunities for developing a more sustainable fishing activity, a more efficient use of available resources, and even improve sectorial communication. Indeed, to achieve fisheries sustainability in European coastal ecosystems it is fundamental to facilitate new digital tools and services to the small-scale fishing sector, such as learning tools, analytics tools, cooperative work tools, etc.
