 Wealth of Underwater World. Thanks to the great amount of bio-planktons, the waters around the island of Lastovo are one of the fish richest areas of Adriatic Sea. The area is famous for colonies of brkatog jastoga, hlapovima, sovicama, škrpinama, gofovima, kernjama, zubacima, kantorima…You can also catch Blue fish here. Local residents witness that not so long ago “sredozemna medvjedica” could have been caught on the south end of the Island, in the close proximity to the cave “Medvjedine".
Life deep under. There is even 248 types of the sea flora species! In shallow water flourish sea-flowering plants. On the rocky sea bed and coast algae are the most prevailing along with other seaweed and red endemic corals! It is a true paradise for Undersea life admirers! Even though some of its balance and beauty was devastated with occasional uncaring divers, things have drastically improved with Lastovo’s addition as 11th National Park of Croatia in 2006.
