// LAKE "MIR" // Lake "Mir" is located in the south-western part of the Nature Park Telašćica. The lake is situated in a narrow area of land between the bay Telašćica and the open sea. After the last Ice Age the sea level rose to approximately 120 meters when the karsts depression met the sea, which it penetrates through numerous underground cracks, particularly numerous on the north side. The sources of the sea are easy to recognize during the tide. The length of the lake is approximately 900 m and it is of 300 m. The maximum depth is 6 m. The lake is salty because its underground channels are connected with the sea. Salinity of the lake is generally higher than the surrounding sea due to evaporation and restrictedness of the lake. In the lake Mir very small changes in water levels have been found since the cracks which connect the lake with the sea area are of low porosity. On the south-eastern part of the lake, the sea tends to spill over into the lake during storms. The shores of the lake are mostly low and rocky, with numerous depressions, while only in the extreme north-western part less accumulation of sand may be perceived. The lake bottom in shallow areas is rocky and in deeper it is covered with clay and on a part of south-east it is covered with fine grey silt (curative mud). Temperature amplitudes of the lake are very prominent (in summer to 33 º C and winter to 5 º C). Because of that, the lake is warmer than the coastal sea in the summer and colder in winter due to the shallowness of the lake. The salinity of the lake is over average due to evaporation. These extreme conditions are the cause of biological poverty of the lake. Apart from the plankton, there are only a few species of marine organisms. These include: algae, goby, mullets, sea-bass, several species of shellfish, snails, crabs and a special type of eel (called “kajman” or “bižat” by the locals) which can grow up to 3 kg.

// Jezero "Mir" // Jezero "Mir" nalazi se na jugozapadnom dijelu Parka prirode Telašćica. Jezero se smjestilo u uskom dijelu kopna između zaljeva Telašćica i otvorenog mora. Nakon zadnjeg ledenog doba došlo je do podizanja morske razine za otprilike 120 metara pri čemu se krška depresija ispunila morem, koje u nju prodire kroz brojne podzemne mikropukotine, osobito brojne sa sjeverne strane. Izvori mora se lako uočavaju za vrijeme plime. Dužina mu je otprilike 900 m, a najveća širina oko 300 m. Najveća dubina je 6 m. Jezero je slano jer je podzemnim kanalima povezano s morem. Salinitet mu je uglavnom viši od okolnog mora zbog izražene evaporacije i zatvorenosti jezera. U jezeru Mir uočene su vrlo male promjene razine vode jer su pukotine koje spajaju jezero s morem male propusnosti. Na jugoistočnom dijelu jezera za vrijeme olujnog juga dolazi do prelijevanja mora u jezero. Obala jezera je najvećim dijelom niska i stjenovita, s brojnim škrapama, dok se samo na krajnjem SZ dijelu mogu uočiti manje akumulacije pijeska. Dno jezera je u plićim dijelovima stjenovito, a u dubljim prekriveno pelitom, a na JI dijelu i fangom (ljekovitim muljem). Temperaturne amplitude u jezeru znatno su izražene (ljeti do 33ºC, a zimi do 5ºC) pa je jezero ljeti toplije od okolnog mora, a zimi hladnije što je posljedica plitkoće jezera. Jezero je nadprosječno slano zbog isparavanja. Ovi ekstremni uvjeti su razlog biološkog siromaštva jezera. Osim planktona, u jezeru nalazimo samo nekoliko vrsta morskih organizama. To su: alge, glavoči, cipli, brancini, nekoliko vrsta školjkaša, puževa, desetonožnih rakova i rakova samaca i posebna vrsta jegulje (kajman ili bižat) koja naraste i do 3 kg.
