I have also added the two symbols which best represent the ancient history of Crete: The Cretan bull and a typical Labrys, representing the Bronze Age Minoan Civilisation which emerged on this very island. The Great Powers tacitly recognized the fait accompli by the act of lowering their flags from the Souda fortress on 14 February 1913, and by the Treaty of London in May 1913, Sultan Mehmed V relinquished his formal rights to the island. The main objective is the identification, mapping and prioritisation of environmental threats of the Greek seas and how they are related to fisheries and coastal areas.

This list is not a comprehensive list of municipal units (former municipalities) in Crete but only an index of those units for which information on their flag - or previous flag when a municipality - is available. Although no fisheries actors are formal members of the association, a local fisheries organisation sits on the project selection board of the FLAG. It was the prelude to the island's final annexation to the Kingdom of Greece, which occurred de facto in 1908 and de jure in 1913 after the First Balkan War.

Eventually, in March 1905, Venizelos and his supporters gathered in the village of Therisos, in the hills near Chania, constituted a "Revolutionary Assembly", demanded political reforms and declared the "political union of Crete with Greece as a single free constitutional state" in a manifesto delivered to the consuls of the Great Powers. For administrative purposes, Crete is divided into four regional units (Chania, Heraklion, Lasíthi and Rethýmno) and 24 municipalities. A Constitution was promulgated in February 1907, but in 1908, taking advantage of domestic turmoil in Turkey as well as the timing of Zaimis' vacation away from the island, the Cretan deputies declared unilateral union with Greece.
