Škocjan Inlet, Coastal nature reserve in Koper, Slovenia.
The Škocjan Inlet extends across 122 hectares of brackish wetlands where the Rižana River meets the Adriatic Sea near Koper.
During the 1980s, industrial development plans threatened to eliminate the inlet, until Slovenia declared it a protected nature reserve in 1998.
The Bird Watching and Study Association of Slovenia manages educational programs and research initiatives throughout the reserve's diverse ecosystems.
Visitors can explore the reserve through wheelchair-accessible observation towers and marked trails, with free admission throughout the year.
The wetland supports 246 bird species, representing more than half of Slovenia's total bird population, along with 300 butterfly and 300 beetle species.
