Stating that he wanted to remind the fishermen about a few issues he attaches great importance to, Erdoğan continued as follows:
“As human beings, we are not the owner of this world, but its depositors. Our seas, lakes, forests, and everything on the earth are relics given to us to be used throughout our life. While earning our sustenance, we will not only seek to save the day, but also to leave a better and more prosperous country for tomorrow. As we throw our nets into the sea, we will never forget that our children and future generations have a right in that sea. Illegal and unconscious hunting is to usurp the rights of future generations.
Especially illegal trawling is one of the biggest mistakes that destroys our seas and destroys living life. I believe that the responsibility to protect our seas and the creatures in it is the duty of our fishermen who earn their sustenance from the sea before anyone else. No law, no detective measure can be as effective as the auto-control system you will establish between you and your conscience. I ask you not to consent to those who destroyed our seas by hunting illegally and illegally. "
