  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This article discusses the precarious situation of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">E</jats:styled-content>urope's coastal fisheries in an increasingly complex world where environmental, economic, political and social instabilities – either separately or interactively – threaten their future sustainability. It draws particular attention to key lessons from resilience thinking and the role that social sciences can play in developing a deeper understanding of the nature of change and the processes shaping the vulnerability, resilience and adaptation of fishing communities and livelihoods, as well as the dangers implicit in certain aspects of fisheries policy.
