How nautical tourism ports affect the environment

Nautical tourism port is a tourist object, which, from business, spatial, construction and functional aspect, makes an entirety for satisfying requirements of nautical tourism and nautical tourists – boaters. In countries with developed nautical tourism economy, an increased number of nautical tourism ports have been observed. It is therefore reasonable to expect the increase of their impact to the environment. In this paper the authors analysed stages in construction, exploitation and termination of exploitation of nautical tourism ports taken at the sample of 47 marinas in the archipelago of the Republic of Croatia. Nautical tourism ports have been created in compliance to legal regulations which are currently conformed to the EU directives and construction practice. Their influence has been analysed per each phase, measures for preventing and eliminating environment disasters have been presented, as well as the programme of monitoring the environment status. New measures aimed at optimal managing of nautical tourism ports from the starting point of their influence to the environment have been proposed.
