A young fisherman works on his fishing boat in the Port of Molfetta, Italy, on August 6, 2025. The main cause of the decline in fishing in Molfetta is a combination of economic and environmental factors. Rising fuel costs significantly impact the profitability of boats, which face increasingly high expenses to remain operational. Additionally, the reduction in fish stocks available in the sea makes it more difficult for fishermen to obtain the quantities necessary to sustain their activities. Furthermore, increasingly stringent regulations on the environment and sustainable fishing impose restrictions which, although necessary for the protection of the marine ecosystem, further complicate the management of the sector.
