Adriatic Sea
- 28 Sep 2021
- Recently, Croatian scientists have issued a public appeal for the protection of the Adriatic Sea, stressing that this is a precondition for the sustainable development of the society.
- The scientists claim that the changes are irreversible, from the increase in the temperature of the Adriatic Sea, the increase in levels and salinity to the appearance of storm waves.
- The scientists claim that various non-domicile, thermophilic species of fish, algae, bacteria and gelatinous organisms are increasingly appearing in the Adriatic.
- These invasive and poisonous organisms might significantly changes the biodiversity of the Adriatic Sea, according to the scientists.
- One of the phenomena includes the mass appearance of jellyfish, which ultimately harms tourism.
- Tourist activities with climate change put the greatest pressure on the Adriatic, and the consequence is that a larger amount of various harmful substances come into the sea.
- The danger for the Adriatic is also due to uncontrolled construction along the coast.
