The FLAG is situated in the Burgas region and covers part of the Burgas Bay and its adjacent inland zones. The FLAG territory also includes the municipality of Kameno, which is a rural area. In total, there are 27 water basins on the FLAG territory. The fisheries industry is represented by six aquaculture farms and eight processing companies. There are approximately 1100 licenses issues for commercial fishing, which is a traditional activity in the region.
The FLAG's challenges include an ageing population, net out-migration, low incomes in fisheries communities, a lack of infrastructure, out-of-date technologies, a lack of investment, and the need for diversification into other sectors, such as tourism.
There are three Natura 2000 sites in the FLAG territory covering a total area of 63.4km2. They are Otmanli, Mandra - Poda, and Chengene Skele Bay.
