Zadar Archipelago
The Zadar Archipelago (Croatian: Zadarski arhipelag, Italian: Archipelago zaratino) is a group of islands in the Adriatic Sea, near the Croatian city of Zadar.[1][2]
Important Bird Area
The northern part of the Zadar Archipelago, including the islands of Premuda, Silba, Olib, Škarda, Iž and Molat, has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports breeding populations of several species of fish-eating seabirds.[3]
