Sažetak
The eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea is one of the most indented coasts in the world with more than 1000 islets and islands at a short spatial distance (78.4% of the total length of the Adriatic coastline). Various biogegraphic, ecological and historical factors are the cause of large and globally recognized biodiversity. At the same time, the area is exposed to increasing anthropogenic pressure, especially the rapid and often spontaneous development of tourism and diverse supporting infrastructure. In this light, efforts to protect species and areas are becoming increasingly significant. The botanical community has made special efforts in recent decades to (1) accumulate data necessary in conservation programs, especially data on species distribution, (2) adopt existing or define new criteria for prioritizing protection, (3) apply criteria at the taxonomic and spatial level, and (4) integration of results into national and international conservation programs and initiatives. The basis for monitoring diversity and its spatial distribution is based on the decades-long accumulation of a range of different data as part of the work and development of the Flora Croatica database. This data platform was used to (1) assess the risk of species extinction, and (2) valorize the area for the purpose of identifying botanically important areas. Both of these groups of results have been integrated into national protection programs (national legislation, NATURA 2000), as well as into modifications of local spatial plans with the aim of sustainable spatial management. Monitoring of target habitats of species is in the initial stages.
