Turkish Living Forums - View Single Post - Fishing Licences in Turkey

Now I have been through the other one - Fishery Laws, which confirms there is no requirement for licence in the last paragraph of this quote:

"CHAPTER - II

Fisheries Production

A) Fishery Production Licence

Licences

Article 3- In order to regulate fishing in the country fishing licences are being issued.

The real persons who are involved in fishing must get a licence for themselves and juridical persons must get a licence according to their juridical status.

Owners and persons who equip the fishing vessels must also have a licence for the vessel in question.

Fishing licences are issued by the Governorship upon the advice of the related official departments.

The licences have to be shown to the proper authorities upon request.

Fishermen who will catch fish in the forestry and in the areas where there are irrigation facilities, must get a visa for their licences from the local forestry authorities and State Hydraulic Works oranisation beforehand.

(Amendment of paragraph seven by Law No. 3288)

Turkish citizens and foreigners who will catch fish for non-commercial or sportive purposes with small scale gears in the areas where fishing is not prohibited are not obliged to get a fishing licence. The matters concerning the methods and principles of this type of fishing are arranged by a regulation."
