Most fish stocks are being extracted at unsustainable rates and through bycatch, many marine megavertebrate species have unfavourable conservation status. The sheer number and diversity of small-scale fishing vessels worldwide presents a challenge to monitoring and research, therefore compared to industrialised fisheries, little is known about their activities or their sustainability. This thesis addresses this information gap by examining motorised polyvalent vessels <12 m length in the Mediterranean, which make up over 80 % of the fleet. We take North Cyprus as a case example to scrutinise interactions with marine turtles and dolphins. Marine turtle mortalities were found to be common (of the order of 1000 turtles caught annually; 60 % mo...
