Abstract

The last decade has shown that food security is a major problem in the long term. Especially, food insecurity will be higher in poor and developing countries when the rising population needs more food sources. In this point, seafood products seem an alternative solution to achieve food security in the global food market. The Mediterranean region, which has lots of benefits from seafood market and fisheries, gives more attention to seafood security. Achieving seafood security is an important issue for coastal countries. This study aims to explain the importance of seafood security in the Mediterranean region through case of Turkey. The open access data from TURKSTAT (Turkish Statistical Institute) and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) were used to determine seafood security conditions in Turkey. The study presents significant findings showing the role of seafood security in Mediterranean region in the context of sustainable development approach.
