The national energy programs for use of the solar (SUNEN) and wind energy (ENWIND) in Croatia assessed the solar and wind energy potential respectively. Fossil fuel and electricity consumption in the region, which is mostly used in households for the preparing of hot water and space heating, could be economically substituted by solar and wind energy. The situation is most promising for Adriatic islands, where solar thermal collectors, PV modules and wind generators could substitute conventional energy sources in satisfying the present thermal and electric demand. Dalmatian islands, characterized by small density of energy consumption, are proposed as unique candidates in Europe for the nomination as renewable zones, which could demonstrate the full potential of the renewable energy option. As a practical demonstration, the Island of Lastovo and the planned tourist village and yacht marina in the bay of “Jurjeva luka” are proposed as a first solar and wind demonstration project on the islands. Technical, economic, legal and institutional barriers, as well as shortages in financing the project identification process produced hereto an adverse environment for solar and wind applications in Croatia. This paper is an initiative to eliminate the barriers and intensify the solar energy use in Croatia providing the clean environment and activation of indigenous energy resources in the region. 1. INTRODUCTION economy. The tourist attractiveness of the Adriatic coast and islands originates from the characteristics of the physical “Do not sleep, o islands of ours, beautiful gardens floating environment and the combination of social and cultural within the sea” image of the Mediterranean region as the “cradle of Antun Mihanoviæ, Croatian poet, 1858 civilizations”. The combination of these factors together with The geographical position, Adriatic Sea, weather conditions its geographical accessibility makes it a popular tourist and mild climate make all seven littoral provinces in Croatia destination.

  • Exploring Underwater Heritage in Croatia a Handbook Exploring Underwater Heritage in Croatia a Handbook
    exploring underwater heritage in croatia a handbook exploring underwater heritage in croatia a handbook Zadar, 2009. AN ROMAN PERIOD SHIPWRECK WITH A CARGO OF AMPHORAE ROMaN PeRIOD ShIPWRecK IN The ČaVLIN ShaLLOWS There are several hundred Roman pe- riod shipwrecks in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, the majority of which are devastated, but about a dozen of which have survived the ravages of time and unethical looters. They have been preserved intact, or with only minor damage, which offers underwater archaeologists an oppor- tunity for complete research. The very large number of Roman ship- wrecks is not unexpected, but speaks rather of the intensity of trade and importance of navigation on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea, and of the dangers our sea hides. Roman period shipwrecks can be dated either by the type of cargo they carried or by some further analysis (the age of the wood, for example), and the datings range from the 4th century BC to the 6th century. The cargos of these ships were varied: from fine pot- tery, vessels and plates, stone construction elements and brick to the most frequent cargo – amphorae. The amphora was used as packag- ing from the period of the Greece colonisation to the late Roman and the Byzantine supremacy. There are remains of shipwrecks with cargos of amphorae that can be researched on the seabed, covered by Archaeological underwater excavation with the aid of a water dredge protective iron cages, and there are those that, as per documentation, need to be raised to the surface and presented on land.

  • Herpetofaunistic Diversity of the Cres-Lošinj Archipelago (Croatian Adriatic)
    University of Sopron Roth Gyula Doctoral School of Forestry and Wildlife Management Sciences Ph.D. thesis Herpetofaunistic diversity of the Cres-Lošinj Archipelago (Croatian Adriatic) Tamás Tóth Sopron 2018 Roth Gyula Doctoral School of Forestry and Wildlife Management Sciences Nature Conservation Program Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Faragó Sándor Dr. Gál János Introduction In recent years the Croatian islands, especially those of the Cres-Lošinj Archipelago became the focus of research of herpetologists. However, in spite of a long interest encompassing more than a hundred years, numerous gaps remain in our herpetological knowledge. For this reason, the author wished to contribute to a better understanding by performing studies outlined below. Aims The first task was to map the distribution of amphibians and reptiles inhabiting the archipelago as data were lacking for several of the smaller islands and also the fauna of the bigger islands was insufficiently known. Subsequently, the faunistic information derived from the scientific literature and field surveys conducted by the author as well as available geological and paleogeological data were compared and analysed from a zoogeographic point of view. The author wished to identify regions of the islands boasting the greatest herpetofaunal diversity by creating dot maps based on collecting localities. To answer the question which snake species and which individuals are going to be a victim of the traffic snake roadkill and literature survey were used. The author also identified where are the areas where the most snakes are hit by a vehicle on Cres. By gathering road-killed snakes and comparing their locality data with published occurrences the author seeked to identify species most vulnerable to vehicular traffic and road sections posing the greatest threat to snakes on Cres Island.

Drugi problem svih novijih popisa, barem onih objavljenih, jest taj da ne navode sve najmanje otoĉiće i hridi, iako ulaze u konaĉne brojke.4 Brojka 1244, koja je sada najĉešće u optjecaju, uopće nije dokumentirana.5 Osnovni izvor za naš popis je, dakle, [2007], i u graniĉnim primjerima [2004].

Bracin saarella ihastut kuuluisaan, kenties Kroatian kauneimpaan Zlatni Ratin uimarantaan, joka avautuu tuulessa muotoaan muuttavana niemekkeenä Bolin kylän läheisyydessä. Rannan tuulet ovat nostaneet sen etenkin surffareiden ja purjelautailijoiden suosioon, mutta kauniilla pikkukivirannalla päivä soljuu myös tekemättä mitään kuin itsestään. Brac tunnetaan Kroatiassa aktiivilomailijan lempisaarena sen useiden patikointireittien ja hyvien pyöräilymahdollisuuksien myötä. Ranta- ja vesiurheiluaktiviteettien lisäksi Bracin puhtaat kristallinkirkkaat vedet kutsuvat sukeltamaan pinnan alle ja tutustumaan Bracin vedenalaiseen elämään sukeltaen tai snorklaten.
