Ambroz Haračić

In 1879 he started teaching at Mali Lošinj nautical school, and in 1897 he was transferred to Trieste.

He spent 18 years in his hometown conducting meteorological measurements and observations, and based on the results of the research, the Austro-Hungarian government declared Mali Lošinj to be a health resort, which resulted in development of tourism on the island.

His rich collection of herbs is preserved in Botanics department of Faculty of Natural sciences and Mathematics of the University in Zagreb.

Complete bibliography of his work can be found in Zbornik radova o prirodoslovcu Ambrozu Haračiću (Proceedings of the natural scientist Ambroz Haračić).

For his efforts, a statue was erected on the south part of the Čikat cove.
