In accordance with the Law, Scientific-technical and administrative council of
fisheries and aquaculture has been created. Its members belong to the different
scientific organizations in the sphere of fisheries. The minister is a chairman of the
appointed council.
By his authority, the minister delegates the task on the operative activity,
development and management of the fishery to the National Agency for Fishery
and Aquaculture (NAFA).
This juridical body is on budgetary support and works under the regulations,
ratified by the Ministerial council of Bulgaria. One of the main prerogatives of the
National executive agency is the elaboration and execution of the National Program
for Fishery and Aquaculture, appointed for 7 years period. In the frame of these
activities, National agency is responsible to apply measures as regards biodiversity
conservation, creation and support the information-statistical system and quota
allocation – obligations of the MS under international regulations and contracts.
This kind of quota allocation is not established yet, since lack of TAC’s and quotas
as management tools in the Black Sea region exist concerning “shared fish stocks”.
In accordance with the administrative division of functions in the country,
27 branches function in subjection of NAFA. Branches in Varna, Bourgas and
Dobrich are situated close to the Black Sea coast (to observe FAA implementation).
NAFA is not juridical dependant on other legal norms. Some requirements under
the environment protection legislation exist as regards conservation of rare and
endangered species. Yearly prohibitions for commercial fishery in coastal areas
(1–3 nm from the shore) are brought into line with Ministry of Environment and
Water.

1. The reform of CFP stipulate to the member states multi-annual management of
the fish stocks and ecosystem approach by application of long-term plans and
guarantees for sustainability according to the precautionary approach (Raykov
and Bikarska 2011). None of these restrictions has its reflection in FAA, and the
turbot population has decreased significantly and the species is faced to the
collapse and extinction. Simultaneously, the condition of the most of the commercial species is unknown. This would have serious lost also from economical
point of view;
