Striking results came out of the survey conducted within the “Responsible Fishing Project”. The majority of the survey participants were found that they are in a lack of information.
The survey was carried out by the Underwater Research Society (SAD) - the implementing ENGO of the “Responsible Fisheries Project” under “the Strengthening the System of Marine and Coastal Protected Areas of Turkey” project and GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP) – COMDEKS.
Conducted to local stakeholders and participants
The survey was conducted in Datça-Bozburun Special Environmental Protection Area (SEPA) and 22 questions were asked. The answers showed that even though the participants are aware of no-fishing zones, there is a lack of information in basic subjects about responsible fishing implementations.
Awareness is high about no-fishing zones
The answers of the participants showed that the consciousness level is relatively high about no-fishing zones. But, the concerning side came out on basic fishery issues. It is seen that there is a lack of information about the regulations such as preventing illegal fishing and following the rules of fishing season.
