Impact of tuna farming on the banks of the coral Cladocora caespitosa in the Adriatic Sea is discussed.

Our recent surveys are focused on four locations where banks occur in the Adriatic Sea: in the Lim channel and near Prvić Island in the northern Adriatic ; near Pag Island in the central Adriatic and in Veliko jezero (National Park “ Mljet” ) in the southern Adriatic. In the area where the banks occur the annual sea temperature range is rather wide ; from 6 °C in winter (the Lim channel) to 29 °C in summer (Mljet Island).
