Fishing Along The Banks Of The Tejo River In Lisbon, Portugal

Fishermen in boats with outboard motors gather mussels and crustaceans near the Vasco da Gama Bridge on the banks of the Tagus River in Lisbon, Portugal, on April 22, 2026. Fishing in Portugal is one of the country's most important traditional sectors, taking place along the entire coastline and combining artisanal practices with industrial operations. The sector ranges from deep-sea fishing to port-based activities and plays a key role in the local economy and in the livelihoods of numerous communities, maintaining strong historical and cultural ties to the sea.
