Workshop on Environmentally Harmful Subsidies, Marseille, Fransa, 30 Ocak 2024, ss.1
Our study identifies capacity-enhancing subsidies as a key driver of
overcapacity and overfishing in the case of Türkiye, which, in line with
Mediterranean trends, disproportionately favor industrial over
small-scale fisheries. This creates a stark 'growth spiral' in
industrial fisheries leading to significant negative impacts on marine
health and socio-economic sustainability. Despite the introduction of
vessel buyback programmes, measures such as fuel tax concessions and
infrastructure support have increased fishing effort, while catches have
gradually declined. Hence, we underscore the need for a paradigm shift
towards sustainable fishing practices by redirecting subsidies towards
conservation, implementing catch quota systems, and enhancing
technological integration for data transparency.
