Archipelagos, Institute of Marine Conservation, is a Greek non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to conservation of the marine and terrestrial environments of the Greek seas and islands. Archipelagos has been active since 1998 in several parts of the Greek seas (Ionian, Sporades, Central Aegean, Lybian and Eastern Aegean). Since 2000, Archipelagos' field of action has focused on the eastern Aegean. Our main terrestrial research base is located on the island of Ikaria and our main marine research base is on the island of Samos, while we also provide research stations in 3 islets of the eastern Aegean.
Archipelagos is working hard to document all the species on the islands and conduct research into their biology and ecology.
Work involved with this project may include assessing island flora biodiversity and herbarium work, assessing the biodiversity of bird, reptile and small mammal populations, office work, including preparation of management reports for the conservation of island fauna.
