Abstract
A specimen of the violet snail Janthina janthina (Linnaeus, 1578) was collected in Portoč Bay, Lokrum Island, in May 2016, during the beach cleanup and removing of marine debris drift arising from strong winds. The first record of the raft snail J. janthina along the eastern Adriatic coast was also noticed in the area of Lokrum Island in the middle of the 19th century.
