In 1950, the total amount of fish caught in the world was 20 million tonnes, whilst today, with the aid of technology, it has risen to over 145 million tonnes.
The European Union has stated that 88% of Europe's fish stocks have been subject to overfishing, and that the number of fish species, as well as their sizes and populations, is decreasing very rapidly.
Scientific studies show that No-Fishing Zones can prevent these problems.

The Mediterranean Conservation Foundation regards marine conservation activities and the protection of species and habitats as its main priority, while indirectly supporting the continuation of small-scale coastal fishing through these efforts.

To make sustainable fishing practicable in Türkiye, we work with fisheries cooperatives and the General Directorate of Fisheries and Aquaculture of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry on many issues, above all providing the knowledge and equipment that fisheries cooperatives need, and obtaining daily fishing data for species monitoring and to measure the effectiveness of the Marine Ranger System.
