Abstract

This Notification lays down duties, prohibitions and restrictions applicable to non commercial fishing. The aim is to ensure responsible and sustainable fishing activities in order to guarantee the rational exploitation of fishery resources. The Notification lists out the species that may be caught in maritime and inland waters and sets forth related fishing seasons. It also specifies those maritime and inland waters where amateur fishing is completely or partially prohibited. Further provisions deal with the issue of fishing licences to Turkish citizens involved in non commercial fishing. Foreigners residing in Turkey may be granted a Guest Amateur Fisherman Licence.
