Declaration of Exclusive Economic Zone in the Ionian Sea
April 18, 2025
Greece announced the declaration of an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the Ionian Sea up to Cape Tainaro, with a Presidential Decree signed by Konstantinos Tasoulas. The decision is based on an agreement signed in 2020 between Greece and Italy and on International Law of the Sea. The EEZ grants Greece full sovereign rights for resource exploitation and other activities. This declaration is an important step for national sovereignty and maritime spatial planning.
