Archipelagos, Institute of Marine Conservation

Archipelagos, Institute of Marine Conservation has been defending Mediterranean wildlife for 25 years, through research, conservation, and cooperation with local communities. This non-profit, non-governmental organization is committed to researching and defending the biodiversity of the Greek seas and islands, as well as the entire eastern Mediterranean.

Since 1998, Archipelagos has focused on a combination of multidisciplinary scientific research and efficient conservation work in which local communities play an active part. This cooperation creates a strategic foundation that enables and strengthens the activities of Archipelagos at the local, national, and European level, allowing them to protect aquatic and terrestrial life against ever-increasing human factors.

Archipelagos operates far from city centers and commercial interests, offering a pure, direct approach to environmental conservation. Their research team works in the field throughout the year, directly in the environments they strive to protect. Despite adverse weather conditions that can occur, especially in the winter months, the team’s enthusiasm and commitment has enabled them to conduct valuable research and achieve conservation actions in defense of the environment.

They carry out multi-faceted conservation work involving a combination of research expeditions, field surveys, and laboratory work while in close collaboration with local communities, national and EU policy makers, and the wider media. Their goal is a truly efficient and effective approach to environmental protection.

Archipelagos, Institute of Marine Conservation operates out of Greece and falls under the industry of Sustainability.
