While the majority of sea-based migration passes through the central Mediterranean Sea, the European Union is aware that, as a result of efforts to secure the border with Turkey, more refugees and migrants have begun taking the route across the Aegean Sea to the Greek islands. FRONTEX reported that during the period from July to September record numbers of migrants used those channels. In October 2014, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees warned that the situation was reaching crisis point.
