Adriatic Sea
The north-eastern part of the Adriatic Sea is home to 300 km2 of Slovenia’s territorial waters. The deepest point is at 37 m, while the average depth is usually around 17 m. Our sea is calm, unpolluted, full of vegetation, and has low levels of traffic, which makes it perfect for sport fishing. There’s even a 200-metre-long coral reef growing in Slovenia’s Adriatic which is of great importance for underwater biodiversity. The Croatian coastline is only 6278 km long, but makes up for it with an abundance of cultural and natural heritage. After a long day at sea, the picturesque town of Piran and other beautiful places on the Slovenian coast offer a wonderful retreat for relaxation and sightseeing.

Fish
The Mahi-mahi or dolphinfish is a less known inhabitant of the Adriatic sea, as it is usually associated with tropical places due to its diverse colors. On its body, you can find a mixture of gold, green and yellow, with some silver added on the belly.
This predator is a competitor of tuna, but it’s not as widely spread in the Adriatic sea, leaving more living space for its contestant.
Atlantic Bluefin tuna is the main species of tuna found in the Mediterranean sea, and with that, in the Adriatic. With the oldest specimens being more than 50 years old and weighing more than 300 kg, this fish is one of the greatest predators who dwell in this part of the ocean.
