BROCHURES AND WEB SITES


Wanted!

Within projects related to invasive algae (mainly financed by Ministry of Culture) we made informative brochures in Croatian, English and Italian, which in 2006 had edition of  100.000 copies.



     

Life in the lakes

A brochure was made for National park “Mljet” about marine life in the lakes.






Green algae - Caulerpa
During 2006 we have established a new page www.izor.hr/kaulerpa with recent data on invasive algae from Caulerpa genus. We have produced three documentary films that in 2006 won "Prix Information Actualite" prize at the world festival of underwater film in Antibes (France); the third place on festival More (The Sea) in  Rijeka (Croatia) and Jury Award on festival in Belgrade (Serbia). http://www.izor.hr/kaulerpashapeimage_2_link_0



The web page www.fauna.hr with contributions about posidonia meadows won prestigious world award World Summit Award-Best in e-science in 2005, and other prizes such as Top 10 HRweb BUG, PC Chip Best of HRnet, Top Talent Award and  VIDI web top 100 in 2006.

A documentary Livade posidonije (Posidonia meadows), made in collaboration with NGO Green Istria in 2003 has won the third prize on festival in Cyprus.







We also have a very limited number of books Jadranske cistozire/Sur les cystoseira adriatiques (Adriatic Cystoseira species) by Dr. Ante Ercegović, 1952. If You are interested in buying or exchanging, please contact us.
