Lim channel - a unique geographic feature near Vrsar, located in Istria. The name of Lim is not only the channel, but also the bay and the valley in the area. This name comes from the Latin word meaning "to the limit". The channel is a kind of boundary between the Roman province.

Pazinchitsa River, stretching 35 kilometers, is transformed into the Gulf of Lim, who Croats called channel because of its small width. The geological history of the channel is quite deplorable - is intensely mined limestone. This production was one of the reasons for drying the water flow and now the water resumes its course through the valley only during heavy rains.

Canyon high enough, it reaches 150 meters. On both sides of the channel grow poppies, deciduous trees (oak and ash), but in the north are quite common evergreens. The mouth is rich in fish, oysters, mussels. Marine flora and fauna are particularly common due to the unique composition of the sea water - salt concentration is not very high, but enough oxygenated and is suitable for the existence of a plurality of types of temperature.

The channel is the natural breeding grounds and wintering area for many species of fish. For this reason he was being watched environmental organizations. Growing and catching oysters and fish in the canal is one of the main industries of local residents.
