"Ne KLIMAjte palasturu!" is an educational and research project of the Marine Explorers Society 20.000 leagues aimed at introducing the public to the manifestations of climate change in the sea and researching strictly protected noble pen shell that are potentially threatened with extinction. As part of the educational activities of the project, we visited elementary school students at Elafiti. We passed on our knowledge and love for the sea to them. We talked to them about climate changes: Do they even know what they are? How can climate changes be seen and felt? And how does the marine environment and the animals, plants and algae that live in it react to them? The students learned about the problem of coral bleaching through a story from the perspective of a coral called Kora, which his algae friends left because they do not like the heat and the "sour" sea.

The implementation of "Monitoring the condition of the noble pen shell (Pinna nobilis)" in the waters of the Telašćica Nature Park included repeated multi-day field research that we conducted through five field trips in 2019. The research was conducted at several locations within the Telašćica Nature Park, and was conducted in March, June, September, November and December. The primary goal of this project was to continue the long-term monitoring that the Society has been conducting in the Park since 2014 as well as monitoring the expected increased mortality in the areas of noble pen shell in the Telašćica Nature Park due to deaths in the Mediterranean. The research was conducted by first documenting the presence of a strictly protected and endangered shellfish species, the noble pen shell, and then the status of the individuals was established. All individuals found were successfully georeferenced using a GPS device, and each was given...
The research on Lastovo included monitoring the condition of a strictly protected shellfish, the noble pen shell (Pinna nobilis), was conducted in the area of our youngest nature park - the Lastovo Islands Nature Park. Monitoring of noble pen shell populations in the Lastovo Islands Nature Park was conducted at several locations in the Park area, and this was the first systematic research focused on noble pen shell in this Park. The impetus for the research was the occurrence of the death of this shellfish in the Mediterranean and in the Adriatic since 2019. The areas visited included several of the previously known areas as well as areas with appropriate habitat where pen shell could be seen in greater numbers. This area abounds in sediment-covered bays and sea flowers, habitats that this iconic Mediterranean shellfish often inhabits in large numbers. In the period from 25 to 28 October, the Society...
After baseline research and mapping in 2012, two years after, in 2014, in collaboration with the Public Institution Nature Park Telašćica (JU Park prirode Telašćica ), the first monitoring of noble pen shell in Telascica Nature Park was carried out. The monitoring of the status of noble pen shell is periodically carried out every two years and has been successfully continued in 2016. Usprkos lošem kišnom vremenu, monitoring na poznatim lokacijama je odrađen te su ustanovljena nova područja za proširenje monitoringa
In the area of Telascica Nature Park , sites of present populations and possible sites for habitats of this protected species of noble pen shell (Pinna nobilis) were research. In areas where populations were more numerous and dense, population were mapped. Preliminary data for the future monitoring program in the Telašćica Nature Park was also collected.
Marine Explorers Society 20.000 leagues gathers ambitious, comprehensive and creative researchers whose primary interest is marine biology. Members of the Society have wide and professional experience in organizing and carrying out various projects.
