The Kornati Archipelago is located in central Dalmatia. In 1980 the Kornati Islands National Park (in Croatian, Nacionalni Park Kornati) was established, which includes 89 of the 140 islands, islets and reefs of the archipelago, for its protection and that of its marine environment. The area covered by the park mostly coincides with Donji Kornati, which includes Kornat Island and the surrounding islets, and has a total area of about 220 km2 (85 sq mi). Most of the land on the islands is karst limestone that, in the distant geological past, arose from sediments from the sea.
