Abstract

Koraligenska biocenoza u Hrvatskoj se smatra ugroženim stanišnim tipom (NN 7/2006). U Jadranu su ovoj biocenozi prijetnja uz vađenje i sakupljanje morskih organizama te globalno zagrijavanje mora, nekontrolirani ribolov, sidrenje brodova, invazivne vrste, onečišćenje i zagađenje kroz kanalizaciju ili marikulturom, intenzivno cvjetanje mora, te razne rekreacijske aktivnost (kao što je ronjenje u zaštićenim područjima). Sve vrste koralja pripadaju u IUCN kategorije ugroženih (EN), gotovo ugroženih (NT) i osjetljivih (VU) vrsta (svojti). Najugroženije vrste iz istraživanog područja su žuta rožnjača (Eunicella cavolini), velika rožnjača (Paramuricea clavata), hvarski koralj (Madracis pharensis) i crveni koralj (Corallium rubrum). Podmorje na vanjskim strmcima PP „Telašćica“ još je uvijek u relativno dobrom stanju. Iako se vidi utjecaj čovjeka, fauna koralja je prilično raznolika i očuvana. Potrebno je uložiti još veće napore kako bi se što više umanjio direktan negativan utjecaj čovjeka (ribarenje i onečišćenje mora, pogotovo na područjima u Jadranu koja su pod posebnom zaštitom, kao u ovom slučaju PP „Telašćica“.

Abstract (english)

Coralligenous biocenosis in Croatia is considered a threatened habitat type (NN 7/2006). In the Adriatic, this biocenosis is threatened by extraction and collection of marine organisms, global warming of the sea, uncontrolled fishing, boat anchoring, invasive species, pollution and contamination by sewage or aquaculture, intensive algal blooms, and a variety of recreational activities (such as diving in protected areas ). All types of corals belonging to the IUCN categories of endangered (EN), near threatened (NT) or vulnerable (VU) species (species). The most endangered species from the study area are Yellow Gorgonian (Eunicella cavolini), Violescent Sea-whip (Paramuricea clavata), Star Coral (Madracis pharensis) and Red Coral (Corallium rubrum). The underwater cliffs on the outer PP „Telascica“ are still in relatively good condition. Although you can see the impact of humans, coral fauna is quite diverse and well-preserved. We need to invest greater efforts in order to decrease the direct negative impact of humans (fishing and marine pollution), especially in areas in the Adriatic that are under special protection, as in this case BP "Telašćica".
