Land tenure registration on the marine areas in Croatia

Marine spatial data infrastructures and marine cadasters are mainly focused on sea and ocean related themes, like hydrography, topography, bathymetry, navigation, geology and marine biology. Onshore land administration is mostly parcel based and relies on strictly regulated official registers. Most of the registers are designed according to the needs of onshore land registration and do not meet the specific requirements of registration on marine areas, such as their three-dimensional extent, spatial and temporal variability, area overlapping, and they lack the appropriate registration of the boundaries and limits of land tenure on maritime areas. An efficient management and planning of activities on the sea and in coastal zone require a prompt and accurate information about existing tenure, i.e. information about the rights, restrictions and responsibilities in effect on a particular area, either marine, onshore, or covering both. The most common solution to the growing need of registration of tenure on marine areas is extending the competence of onshore land registers over the coast, to marine areas, adding a complex mesh of institutions to already complex mesh of relations and interests. In this paper the existing registers, required and regulated by law, which may include interests on marine areas in Republic of Croatia are reviewed. The review includes the two key registers of property in Croatia, Cadastre and Land book (parts of maritime domain defined as land parcels), the Register of concessions on maritime domain (ports and harbors, leisure facilities, amusement parks, mariculture, cables, pipelines etc.), Register of cultural property (underwater archaeological sites), Register of protected areas (various levels of protection according to the Law on nature protection), Register of approved mineral resources exploration areas and Register of established mineral resources exploitation fields (hydrocarbons and salt), Register of issued licenses for fish and other marine organisms farming, and the Environmental pollution register. All of these registers were designed and function as „stand alone“ registers, so the consequence is that the cross-connections between different registers, spatial extents of registered objects, users and tenure and relevant data are weak or nonexistent. The present conditions of registration of marine areas in official registers in test area of Primorsko – goranska county has been analyzed and presented in this paper, problems in integration in a land and marine administration systems were identified with suggestions for improvement.
