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.
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.
