Development of Responsible Recreational Fishery in Turkish Marine Protected Areas
The MPAs are reserve areas for sustainable use. However, illegal and over fishing activites are among the most important challenges to be encountered in a successful MPA management and give direct damage to habitat quality and reduces biological diversity, which finally deteriorate marine ecosystem. Control of the MPAs and marine surveillance are not only ways to prevent collapse of marine ecosystem caused by over & illegal fishing. Education and communication are considered other effective ways to tackle with this important problem that is composed of both ecological & socio-economic components. The project focuses on raising awareness, capacity building and communication among relevant stakeholders by providing educational courses and discussion platforms via seminars and panels supported by tutorial education kits dedicated for this project. The Project also aims to fulfill the gaps in law for better practices in marine management .
