There
have been important developments in the number of fishing vessels, size and
engine power due to low-interest loans
and customs exemptions provided by the state in the 1970s and fishing vessel numbers showed a rapid increase especially
after 1980 in Turkey. However, marine fisheries production has been decreasing
since 1985 despite the rapid development of
the fishing fleet, leading to a decline in the real income of fishermen. In
Turkish seas, there are 15.680 licensed fishing vessels actively operating with
different depths in 2015. When the number of fishing vessels in Turkey
is compared to those of the EU countries except Italy and Spain, vessels in
these countries are found to be less than in Turkey. The situation is
particularly damaging the ecosystem and the fish
stocks by wrong fishing techniques. One of the most important ways to solve this issue is the repurchase
“buyback” programs that are commonly encouraged
by regulations of the state. In fact,
most of the EU countries having advanced fishing industry decided that the
reduction of fishing fleet is an effective solution and they have accepted to
put it into practice.
