All the FRAs identified and mapped cover approximately 56.2% of the Aegean sea . 38.0% of the study area is covered by permanent and 27.6% by seasonal FRAs In most of the FRAs mapped in the study area, restrictions on fishing activities concern the use of towed and mobile gears, while the use of static gears is restricted in approximately half of the FRAs identified. It was estimated that towed, mobile and static gears are permanently prohibited in 38.0%, 3.2% and 2.4% of the Aegean sea, respectively.
