Other Site Characteristics

The site includes the marine area of the gulf Limski kanal situated at the west coast of Istria and characterized by bays, sandy bottoms, undersea reefs and caves. It is known as a mussel farm. Bay is longer than 10 km, depth of 30 m, and the widest part is around 600 meters; on both sides are fairly steep hill, sometimes up to a height of 100 m. Lithostratigraphic units represented around the bay are: limestone and dolomite (lower cretaceous - K1), limestones and dolomites (upper jurassic - J3). Soils around the bay: loessivized and typical deep terra rossa, brown soil on limestone, shallow and medium deep terra rossa. Limski channel was created as the estuary (submerged river mouth) of the river Pazinčica; erosive action of river Pazinčica. Current form of the islands were created after the transgression of the sea after the last glaciation.
