Telašćica Nature Park (no-take marine zones)

Telašćica Nature Park on the southeastern part of Dugi Otok island. Croatia's first no-take ('no-fishing') marine zones were established here under the ordinance on fishing in protected areas for the Telašćica and Lastovo nature parks (in force from World Fisheries Day, 21 November). Any seabed exploitation, including spearfishing, is completely prohibited in the no-take zones; sport/recreational fishing in the park is otherwise governed by the park's public institution under special licence (NN 48/2026 art. on protected areas).
