Avlaki

Lesbos is a historical Greek Island between the Aegean and Black Seas and is a modern crossroads used by migratory birds. Off the north coast of Lesbos is Avlaki, a marine area that boasts magnificent assemblages of aquatic birds, marine mammals and vibrant reefs in an impressive volcanic environment. As in most of the Aegean, fishing and other human impacts over the centuries have degraded the marine environment. Yet, the area still shimmers with life and attracts eco-tourists from around the globe and has the potential to see a reversal of damage from negative human impacts.
