Integrated Coastal Zone Management in the Republic of Croatia

The main part of this paper is dedicated to the Integrated Coastal Zone Management, its definition, description of the procedures, the legal frameworks and goals. Integrated development management unifies the methods of physical, environmental, social and economic planning. Integrated coastal zone management should be carried out in a coordinated manner, both at national and international level. In the 1970s began the history of coastal zone management in the region, when the Program for development of the United Nations launched a project focusing on tourism: Upper and Southern Adriatic. These projects are considered to be the basis of integrated planning and management of the Croatian coast. In Croatia, there is a need for an ecosystem approach (Maritime Spatial Planning - MSP), in order to achieve a balanced strategy of environmentally sustainable use of natural resources.
