Sažetak
The program encompasses environmental research of the submarine zone of Susak Island (Kvarner bay of the Northern Adriatic Sea), with the aim of proposing the establishment of a protected area. The submarine zone of Susak Island should be proposed as a protected area for the following reasons: the morphogenesis and geological composition of Susak island and the shallow surrounding submarine plateau are unique among the islands of the Northern Adriatic Sea ; 3 biocenoses, 4 floral species and 15 invertebrate species found are, according to the Mediterranean Action Plan, of conservation interest ; this area is surrounded by sea-grass Posidonia oceanica community ; the submarine zone of Susak Island complements geographically previously proposed marine protected areas in the Kvarner region.
