PROPOSAL FOR NEW METHODS OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF THE ADRIATIC SEA

Due to diverse natural features of the Croatian coastline and islands, nautical tourism has become a recognisable Croatian "tourism product". Its most important and valuable segment refers to natural coastal and island areas. Any further unconsidered and uncontrolled development of any segment of these areas may threaten the long-term preservation of the quality and attractiveness, as well as the desired and possible overall economic valorisation. Reduced sojourn costs make this form of tourism even more attractive. However, most frequently, anchoring in deserted coves and bays lacks any supervision. Owing to the heavy traffic of recreational boats, the Republic of Croatia does not have enough resources for monitoring all vessels and protected areas in order to prevent activities that are likely to become harmful to the environment. This paper presents the authors' proposal for new methods of protecting marine environment and monitoring in nautical tourism.
