Due to
its distinctive nature, Lake Jezero attracted the attention of researchers from
an early period. The first scientific study was carried out as far back as 1874
(Cubich). It can be concluded that this is the most intensely and best studied
ecosystem in the area of the Municipality of Omišalj. In the past, it had great
importance for the economy of Omišalj in terms of fishing and hunting.
The
lake is located close to Njivice just a hundred metres from the
Omišalj-Malinska road. Its waters cover an area of approximately 35 hectares, and
the reed and peat along the shore cover approximately 60 hectares. Depending on
the water level, the lake is between 7.9 and 9.9 m deep. At its lowest water
level, the bottom is 7 metres below sea level (a cryptodepression). Hunting,
fishing and access to the lake are prohibited in the first water protection
zone, which has been fenced off. This contributes to the preservation of its
flora and fauna.
