Dolphin watching

 

Croatia - dolphin friendly country.

The Losinj Dolphin Reserve was declared officially in function on 6th August 2006, thus making it the biggest marine protected area in the entire Adriatic, totaling 526 square kilometers.

 

In the last 15 years the population of Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) inhabiting Losinj – Cres archipelago has faced a dramatic decline of about 40%. To protect this critically endangered population, Blue World proposed the establishment of the first marine protected area in the Mediterranean dedicated to bottlenose dolphins - The Losinj Dolphin Reserve. Proposed reserve is positioned in the waters of the eastern part of the Losinj - Cres archipelago.
