Amorgos FRA – Nikouria Islet Fisheries Restricted Area

One of three year-round no-fishing zones established around Amorgos by Presidential Decree No. 73 (Government Gazette No. 148, 18 August 2025), under the fisher-led Amorgorama conservation initiative. The zone covers the marine area around the uninhabited islet of Nikouria, located off the coast of Agios Pavlos beach on Amorgos (Cyclades). All fishing – commercial and recreational, including spearfishing – is permanently prohibited within the zone. A separate seasonal ban (1 April – 31 May annually) also applies within 1.5 nautical miles of the entire Amorgos coastline for all fishing including recreational. The three FRAs are enforced by GPS tracking and fines up to €3,000.
