Ege Denizi’nde Küçük Ölçekli Balıkçıların Deniz Kaplumbağaları Hakkındaki Bilgi Düzeyleri ve Bu Canlılara Karşı Olan Tutumları

Bu çalışmada, Ege Denizi kıyı balıkçılarının zaman zaman karşılaştıkları deniz kaplumbağaları hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri ile bu canlılara karşı olan bakış açıları ve tutumları araştırılmıştır. Veriler, Ağustos 2016- Ekim 2017 tarihleri arasında Ege Denizi’ne kıyısı bulunan 5 ilde (Çanakkale, Balıkesir, İzmir, Aydın ve Muğla), 98 su ürünleri kooperatifindeki 404 balıkçı ile yüz yüze anket yapılarak toplanmıştır. Ankete katılan balıkçıların %91’inin Ege denizinde dağılım gösteren türleri tanımadığı bulunmuştur. Balıkçıların %95’i, dünya denizlerinde dağılım gösteren bu canlıların ekosistem içindeki rolünü bilmediğini ayrıca hiçbir balıkçının yaralı bir kaplumbağaya nasıl bir müdahalede bulunacağı hakkında da yeterli bir bilgiye sahip olmadığı ortaya konulmuştur. Balıkçılar başlangıçta deniz kaplumbağaları ile ilgili çalışmalara katılım sağlama konusunda çekinik davranırken, bilgilendirici broşürler ve farkındalık sunumları sonrasında deniz kaplumbağalarının doğasını yakından tanımaya başlamaları ile onlara olan bakış açılarını, yaklaşımlarını ve tutumlarını değiştirmiştir. Ege kıyılarında deniz kaplumbağalarının sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması için bu canlıların yoğun olduğu alanlarda balıkçılara yönelik daha fazla sosyal sorumluluk projeleri ve iş birliği yapılmasında fayda vardır.

The Knowledge and Attitudes on the Sea Turtles of Small Scale Fishermen in the Aegean Sea

In this study, the level of knowledge of the sea turtles that encounter fishing gears from time to time and the attitudes of fishermen on the Turkish coast of the Aegean Sea to these living beings were investigated. Data were collected from a total of 404 fishermen in 98 fisheries cooperatives in 5 provinces (Çanakkale, Balıkesir, İzmir, Aydın and Muğla) by face-to-face survey between August 2016 and October 2017. It was ascertained that the 91% of fishermen, who participated in the survey, do not know what kinds of sea turtles are distributed in the Aegean Sea. The 95% of fishermen do not also know the role of these living beings that show wide range of distribution on world’s oceans and seas, in the ecosystem. Moreover, it is revealed that the fishermen do not have enough knowledge about to perform an intervention in an injured turtle. After getting information from the informative brochures and awareness presentations about sea turtles, fishermen became familiar with the nature of sea turtles, they have changed their attitudes, approach and perspectives to them although they firstly behaved timid to participate in the studies on sea turtles. It is useful to make more social responsibility projects and collaborations with fishermen in areas where these living beings are intense in order to ensure the sustainability of sea turtles on the coast of Aegean Sea.
