Archipelagos Institute of Marine Conservation
Greece

For over 15 years, Archipelagos has been monitoring the biodiversity of shallow, littoral zone ecosystems of the eastern Aegean Sea. The data collected enables us to get an understanding of local conditions, ecosystem changes, processes and threats. Surveys have a wide range of focus, including:

Conducting biodiversity assessments (fish, invertebrates and algae) and analyzing the spread of local vs invasive species.

Determining impacts of the factors threatening protected species and ecosystems, as well as colonization rates.

The collection of data regarding invasive species via underwater visual census (UVC) surveys, questionnaires and recordings of fisheries’ landings.

The creation of GIS maps which provide an overview of species distribution

Experimenting on sustainable mooring systems and artificial reefs.
