Protection of water ecosystems' biodiversity
A one-day seminar of the National Educational Institute of Slovenia that was co-organized with Škocjan Caves Park Slovenia and DOPPS-Birdlife Slovenia took place on March 24 in the Škocjanski zatok Nature Reserve. The participants were the mentors of The Škocjan Caves Network of Schools as well as other professors of biology and natural sciences from around Slovenia.

In the first part we listened to the presentation of caves as underground wetlands delivered by Doc. Dr. Maja Zagmajster, learned about the last discoveries and work on the olm biology from Prof. Dr. Rok Kostanjšek and got informed on the interstitial water as an overlooked underground habitat by Doc. Dr. Simona Prevorčnik.

After an earned brake, researchers from the Piran Marine Biology Station succeeded the professors from the Biotechnical Faculty of the Ljubljana University. Prof. Dr. Lovrenc Lipej convinced us about the exceptional biodiversity of the Slovene sea, while Prof. Dr. Valentina Turk presented us the demanding research field of microorganisms and its marine ecosystems.
