Component 2B of our project aims at the preparation of guidelines and criteria, taking into consideration the EU legislation, practices and lessons learned, for the roles and recognition of Fishery and Aquaculture Producer Organisations and Interbranch Organisations. In this way the project aims at functional stakeholder involvement in decision making in national fisheries management and governance.
Based on the analysis of the current fisheries management, governance and co management situation in Turkey, alternative governance models for fisheries management will be recommended. The finally selected model should include associated management tools and mechanisms enabling 'good governance', participation in decision making and responsible fisheries and aquaculture.
