Maritime Governance as the Environmental Driver

The oceans and seas are causally interlinked so any environmental protection actions and policies in one sea area have an impact on other areas, especially on small seas such as the Adriatic Sea. This paper elaborates maritime governance in the Republic of Croatia and presents a model of integrated approach by Adriatic States in favour of environmental protection of the Adriatic Sea which entails joint policy and system of governance in certain aspects of maritime affairs. The authors call attention to the necessity of establishing a Coast Guard in the Adriatic Sea, as an international system of maritime surveillance and monitoring, to deal with the challenges of environmental protection.
