FRAs - Fishering Restricted Areas

The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) is one of the few RFMOs worldwide entitled to adopt spatial management measures that regulate or restrict human activities in the high seas, e.g. by introducing closures or prohibiting the use of certain gears. Since 2006, four FRAs, falling both in high seas and national waters have been established to ensure the protection of deep sea sensitive habitats in well-delimited sites. In addition, yet in 2005 the GFCM endorsed the decision of prohibiting bottom-trawling activities in waters deeper than 1000 m in order to protect the deep-sea benthic environments of the Mediterranean and Black Sea.
