💧 Water Quality

Croatia’s Adriatic coast boasts an average of 99.6 % “excellent” water quality—higher than any other European sea. Regular testing by the Ministry of Health ensures transparency; look for the blue flag at beaches to confirm top standards.

🐟 Marine Biodiversity

Over 1,200 marine species thrive in Croatia’s waters: octopus, cuttlefish, grouper, and seagrass meadows. Dive or snorkel around seagrass beds to spot endangered loggerhead turtles and vibrant reef fish.

🌱 Conservation Efforts

Marine protected areas like Kornati and Lastovo National Parks cover nearly 13% of the coast. Local NGOs organize beach cleanups—volunteer days are open to campers. By respecting no-take zones and avoiding single-use plastics, you help keep the Adriatic pristine.
