First sentence: As far as fisheries are concerned, throughout much of the twentieth century the focus of attention in Europe has been on the offshore sector, initially as a reflection of the rapid industrialisation of the fishing industry, the growth of fishing effort and the contagious spread of overfishing, then in the 1970s as a result of the 'nationalisation' of fishing rights through the declaration of 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zones, and most recently with the realisation of a comprehensive Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in 1983 which now embraces most of Europe's Atlantic waters.
