OVERVIEW - LOCATION & OUR TEAM

The Aegean Sea is a key Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot supporting some
of the most important remaining populations of marine mammals and turtles
in the Mediterranean. This includes bottlenose, short-beaked common,
striped and Risso’s dolphins, sperm whales and Cuvier’s beaked whales, the
highly endangered Mediterranean Monk seal, as well as loggerhead and green
turtles.

The research and conservation of marine mammals has been one of the key
areas of focus of the Archipelagos Institute since its establishment in
1998. Our goal is to fill the important knowledge gaps regarding the
distribution of marine mammal populations in the Greek Seas and the
northeast Mediterranean, while also quantifying the factors that threaten
their survival. Our research focuses on assessing populations and the
interactions of cetaceans with fisheries and maritime traffic. Also
monitored are the effects caused by overfishing and the various forms of
pollution (plastic, chemical and noise pollution). Close cooperation with
local communities is at the core of Archipelagos’ actions and an essential
prerequisite for the implementation of any conservation action.

Through the use of our three research vessels, the team records behavioral
and acoustic data, and photo-ID images, as well as documents vessel traffic
data, water chemistry data, macroplastic and microplastic data, and seabird
abundance. Our main goal is to use the data collected to develop
successful, targeted management and conservation plans.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
