Its characteristic is its high salt content that relates to the temperature of the water. The salt content of cooler Northern waters is 33 while of that of the warmer Southern waters is 38% due to its high solidity, plankton is practically not existent so there's nothing that would make its water greenish that's why it's beautifully blue and very transparent.

The tides are large at set on new moon and full moon which is called bore tide while the smallest nip tide. The day the tide phenomenon is caused by the gravitation of the moon.

The characteristic of the Adriatic is that the fluctuation between low and high tide is very small, just 37 cm and the Southern region, 40 in the middle of Adriatic and 70 in the North. The Adriatic doesn't have larger constant occurrence either. The continental animal life of the creation seashore is not too varied by the sea life is all the more or so.
