of his work deals with mapping and monitoring marine biodiversity and
habitat types in the Slovenian coastal sea. His working methods are relat-
ed to non-destructive SCUBA sampling techniques such as different types
of visual census methods for assessing the coastal fish fauna. In addition,
he is working on topics related to the impact of climate change and bioin-
vasion of marine and coastal biodiversity. He has published more than 120
scientific papers and 12 scientific books. He is also a full professor, hold-
ing lectures on different courses such as marine ecology, biotic globalisa-
tion in seas and oceans, marine zoology, marine biodiversity, etc. at vari-
ous Slovenian universities (the University of Primorska, the University of
Ljubljana, and the University of Maribor).

second home development; tourism valorisation of heritage; tourism and
recreation in protected areas and urban green spaces; typology of tourism
destinations; tourism in regional and local development; and alternative
forms of tourism. He is the author or co-author of 1 scientific monograph,
1 university textbook, 35 scientific papers, 2 chapters in scientific mono-
