A project to conserve marine and terrestrial habitats at 29 Natura 2000 sites, with the aim of protecting and restoring 746 ha.
About the record
The Šibenik-Knin County Public Institution Nature, together with its partner Šibenik-Knin County, is implementing a project across 29 Natura 2000 network sites. Planned conservation and restoration measures cover 746 ha, of which 96 ha are marine habitats and 650 ha terrestrial habitats. These are target areas, not evidence of results achieved. Activities include ecological buoys, the removal of discarded fishing gear, underwater clean-ups, monitoring of the bottlenose dolphin, restoration of ponds and protection of bat cave habitats. The project’s opening conference was held in Šibenik on 6 November 2026.
