Protection of Adriatic sea: Declaring new nature parks and new protected areas in central Adriatic region

This article reviews certain possibilities of how to better protect Adriatic sea. The proposed protection model would restrict risk of oil and hazardous liquids pollution and uncontrolled waste and garbage disposal. The purpose of the model is to protect natural and cultural resources in this area. Certain national parks are not good enough protectors of the surrounding aquatic zones. New promoted protected areas could limit touristic development unless well-planned follow-up activities would be agreed. New nature parks and protected marine areas should improve protection of nature by connecting themselves and widening previous protected areas. Promising opportunity in Kornati national park area was analysed and proposal was given according to international law. Implementation of new monitoring remote systems could diminish possibility of uncontrolled, but regulated by law, ships' activities. The result of this study and contributions made by authors of this review article are of environmental protective nature and the purpose is improving sustainability in sea ecology. In accepting this proposal in Adriatic Sea, there would be greater safety in the traffic and cargo operations, handling of garbage, waste and edible oil disposals, and more confidence in the oil pollution prevention operations of shipping companies.
