Summary/Abstract: On the eve of integration with the EU structures, the Polish fishing sector was struggling with numerous issues. Each link of the sector was neglected. Poland’s integration with the EU created an opportunity to restructure the fishing sector on an unprecedented scale. During the research period, EU funds were very popular among the recipients. They made possible a substantial improvement in the functioning of the Polish fishing sector. The EU funds were the main – and in some cases the only – source of financing the sector. Despite the high activity of the beneficiaries in obtaining EU funds, the process of restructuring the Polish fishing sector has not been concluded. It requires further financial support. The source of financing will be the future European Fisheries Fund.
