Sažetak
The aim is to evaluate the importance of developing and adopting the maritime spatial plan in a present situation characterized by competing uses of the marine environment and its resources. The authors applied qualitative research method based on direct observations, authors’ previous experiences and research, official documents, literature surveys and current research reports on the subject. The drafting and adoption of a maritime spatial plan with its accompanying strategic environmental assessment requires the involvement of experts, scientists, economic sectors representatives, and the public. The principles for good practice maritime spatial planning aimed at achieving environmental targets are presented, whereby focus is placed on land-sea interactions. Global coverage of the marine area by maritime spatial plans is constantly increasing, but the Republic of Croatia is lagging behind, it having as yet not adopted the maritime spatial plan for its sea. Analysis is made of the pressures on the Adriatic Sea and its eastern coasts, pointing to significant aspects to be contemplated holistically in drafting the maritime spatial plan which should be a prerequisite preceding any planning of economic activities along the coast, on sea surface, its column, sea bottom, and subsoil. In conclusion, maritime spatial planning should be seen as a mean for supporting healthy, productive, and rich biological resources in the sea, which are themselves vital for true economic well-being and that of the coastal communities.
