Naravni rezervat Škocjanski zatok
je oaza miru na pragu Kopra, privlačna za vse tiste, ki želijo spoznavati in
doživljati naravo. Med glavnimi privlačnostmi za obiskovalce so tako rekreacija
in sprostitev v naravi ter opazovanje živalskih in rastlinskih vrst. Izjemna
vrstna pestrost, predvsem ptic, sorazmerna majhnost območja in opremljenost s
posebno infrastrukturo za opazovanje narave, ki je prilagojena tudi ljudem s
posebnimi potrebami, botrujejo temu, da je vsak obisk nekaj posebnega.
Cilj zavarovanja Škocjanskega
zatoka je ohranitev polslanih in sladkovodnih habitatnih tipov ter habitatov
ptic, ki tu v velikem številu gnezdijo, prezimujejo in se ustavljajo ob
selitvah. Poleg ptic je rezervat bogat še z metulji, kačjimi pastirji, žabami,
na mokrotnih travnikih pa vegetacijo s pašo uravnava podolsko govedo in
kamarški konji. Posebnost rastlinskega sveta so slanuše.
Škocjanki zatok je lep primer
delovanja predstavnikov civilne družbe in članov Društva za opazovanje in
proučevanje ptic Slovenije, kako s požrtvovalnim delom preprečiti uničevanje
narave, ki je v drugi polovici prejšnjega stoletja ravno tu bilo najbolj
obsežno. Leta 1993 se je z interventnim zavarovanjem to ustavilo, leta 1998 pa
je sledilo trajno zavarovanje. Od leta 1999 za upravljanje skrbi DOPPS.
The Škocjan Inlet Nature Reserve is as an oasis of peace at
the threshold of Koper, alluring for anyone who wants to learn about nature and
experience it. The main attractions for visitors are sports activities and
relaxation, as well as the observation of animal and plant species. The unique
variety of species, mainly birds, the small surface area and special
infrastructure for the observation of nature, which is also adapted for persons
with special needs, make every visit special.
The goal of the protection of the Škocjan Inlet is the
conservation of brackish and freshwater habitats and bird habitats, which nest,
winter and stop during migration in this inlet in large numbers. Besides the
birds, visitors can see dragonflies and butterflies in all colours and listen
to the frogs croaking. In the wet meadows, the vegetation is balanced by
Podolian cattle and Camargue horses grazing. The inlet is distinguished by
halophytes– plants, adapted to grow on salty ground.
The Škocjan Inlet is a good example of cooperation
between the representatives of civil society and the members of the Bird
Watching and Study Association of Slovenia who have prevented the Škocjan Inlet
from completely drying out and being covered with buildings. After 1993 the
area was protected and in 1998 it was permanently protected. Since 1999 it has
been carefully managed by the Bird Watching and Study Association.
