Vila Real de Santo António, Decay

OLD TUNA FACTORIES. NO MORE TUNA FISHING IN THE AREA... A NEW AND DEFINITIVE PERIOD OF DECLINE IN TUNA FISHING BEGAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 20TH CENTURY DUE TO PRODUCTION COSTS, THE REDUCTION IN CATCHES AND THE FLOODING OF THE EXTERNAL MARKET WITH CANNED TUNA FROM OTHER COUNTRIES THAT CAUGHT THEIR CATCHES IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC AND OFF THE COAST OF ANGOLA.
