Our team surveyed 1/4th of the islands coastal perimeter by snorkeling and walking the shoreline of the island. I used GIS and GPS to document findings after we had sketched, measured and recorded all sites and findings. I was lucky enough to work with a team of archaeologists, geologists, and paleontologists who found a fossil of an ancestor of the elephant, the first time this species has been found in Greece.
