On 16 April, Greece became the first EU country to ban bottom fishing at the ‘Our Ocean’ world conference, initially in national marine parks ‘by 2026’ and then ‘in all marine protected areas by 2030’.
This same government also makes sure that wind turbines are placed in protected areas by Natura 2000.
3523 out of 11006 or 1 out of 3 (32%) licensed wind turbines in Greece are inside a protected Natura 2000 site (data from RAE and the European Environmental Agency) [link]
