The majority of the Adriatic Sea islands are located in the northeastern Adriatic, near theCroatian coast. There are more than 1,200 islands in theAdriatic Sea , 69 of which are inhabited. A study in 2000 by the Institute of Oceanography inSplit shows that there are 1,246 islands: 79 large islands, 525 islets, and 642 ridges and rocks. The ItalianScuola di Geografia ofGenoa states that the number is greater if one includes the small islands in the Italian lagoons of Venice and Grado, and the so-called "islands of the Po delta".
