Debeli rtič Landscape Park (marine protected area)

Krajinski park Debeli rtič at the tip of the Ankaran peninsula (NW corner of Slovenia's coast, bordering Italy/Muggia), established by decree (Odlok o Krajinskem parku Debeli rtič, Uradni list RS 2018) in June 2018. The park covers ~340 ha of which ~160 ha is a marine protected area (a 250-450 m wide belt of sea) with a flysch cliff, natural shoreline and an underwater reef harbouring nearly 700 marine species (including protected species: fan mussel, long-snouted seahorse, Mediterranean stone coral, loggerhead turtle). Per the park decree (Art. 11) recreational fishing (negospodarski ribolov) is prohibited except angling from shore, and collection/removal of wild marine organisms is banned in both protection zones; breath-hold spearfishing (conducted from the water, not from shore) therefore falls under the prohibition. NOTE: the official eUprava national fishing-restrictions FAQ does NOT list Debeli rtič by name; the fishing prohibition is established by the park's own founding decree, which should be checked for exact marine-zone boundaries and any in-park exceptions before diving.
