Kuzey Afrika'da Balıkçılığın ve Su Ürünleri Yetiştiriciliğinin Sürdürülebilir Gelişimi: Mevut Durum ve Geleceğe Yönelik Beklentiler

Öz

Bu makale, beş Kuzey Afrika ülkesinin (Fas, Cezayir, Tunus, Libya ve Mısır) balıkçılık ve su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği sektörlerini incelemekte ve bölgesel hayvansal protein talebinin arttığı bir ortamda ekonomik istikrar ve gıda güvenliğindeki kritik rollerini vurgulamaktadır. Zengin deniz ekosistemlerine, ulusal ekonomilere ve istihdama önemli katkılara rağmen bu bölgelerin çoğu, sınırlı bilgi, zayıf kurumsal çerçeveler ve yetersiz uluslararası işbirliği nedeniyle, balıkçılık yönetiminde çeşitli zorluklarla karşı karşıyadır. Doğal balık stoklarını korumak ve gıda üretim kapasitelerini artırmak için sürdürülebilir su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği uygulamalarına geçişin gerekliliğini vurgulanmıştır. Yasal ve sürdürülebilir avcılık hayati önemini korusa da, bu çalışmanın odak noktası, su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğinin deniz ekosistemleri üzerindeki baskıları artırmadan, artan nüfusun ihtiyaçlarını karşılama potansiyelidir. Balıkçılık yönetiminin mevcut durumu değerlendirilmiş, su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğinin ölçeklendirilmesindeki zorluklar belirlenmiş ve daha sürdürülebilir ve üretken sonuçlara yol açabilecek yenilikçi uygulamalar tartışılmıştır. Çalışma, balıkçılık sektörünün sürdürülebilir gelişimini sağlamak ve sonuçta gıda güvenliğine, ekonomik büyümeye ve denizel biyolojik çeşitliliğinin korunmasına katkıda bulunmak için gelişmiş yönetim stratejileri, gelişmiş araştırma ve eğitim ve su ürünleri yetiştiriciliğine daha önemli yatırım yapılması çağrısında bulunmaktadır.

Sustainable Development of Fisheries and Aquaculture in North Africa: Current Status and Future Prospects

Öz

This paper delves into the fisheries and aquaculture sectors of five North African countries—Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt—highlighting their critical roles in economic stability and food security amid increasing regional demands for animal protein. Despite the rich marine ecosystems and substantial contributions to national economies and employment, most of these regions face several challenges in fisheries management due to limited knowledge, weak institutional frameworks, and insufficient international cooperation. The paper emphasizes the necessity of transitioning towards sustainable aquaculture practices to preserve natural fish stocks and augment food production capacities. Although legal and sustainable capture fisheries remain vital, the focal point of this review is the potential for aquaculture to meet the growing population's needs without exacerbating the pressures on marine ecosystems. The paper evaluates the current state of fisheries management, identifies challenges in scaling aquaculture, and discusses innovative practices that could lead to more sustainable and productive outcomes. The study calls for improved management strategies, enhanced research and training, and more significant investment in aquaculture to ensure sustainable development of the fisheries sector, ultimately contributing to food security, economic growth, and conservation of marine biodiversity.
