Much of the fish stocks in Bulgaria are at critical levels. During the opening conference under the "Europe in Bulgaria: Common Future" project, Deputy Minister of Agriculture Georgi Sabev, announced that control over both professional and recreational fishing will be strengthened. According to the deputy minister, one of the reasons for the decline in stocks is small-scale fishing. He added that there are more than 1700-1800 fishing vessels registered in Bulgaria.

Bulgaria, as a member of the EU, bears responsibilities for the storage and protection of biological resources and biological diversity, which is a real challenge in the geopolitical situation, Sabev also said.
