Sažetak
The Republic of Croatia has received a loan from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) toward the cost of Coastal Cities Water Pollution Control Project, and applied a portion of this loan to The Adriatic Sea Monitoring Program. For the purpose of works and services the consortium of the following companies were established: • Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb (FCZ) • Hydrographic Institute of the Republic of Croatia, Split (HI) • Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Split (IOF) • Ruđer Bošković Institute, Centre for Marine Research, Rovinj (CMR) This paper gives short insight in scope of works related with in-situ measurement and numerical modelling implementation in this monitoring program, extensively using MIKE 3 and MIKE 3 FM platform. The objective of the Program is to make an expert assessment of the current sea monitoring system and its compliance with the provisions of the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC), and to identify necessary improvements and modifications. Plans are made within the Program about the necessary research work which shall be used as the basis for the establishment of the basic models for the analysis of the Adriatic Sea quality state. Results of measurements on specific network of stations, together with results of basic models of the Adriatic Sea quality state will support the Adriatic Waters Management Plan, which Hrvatske vode is legally bound to prepare by 2010. For the purposes of this Adriatic Sea Monitoring Program, the most important parameters are defined with the help of which it is possible to monitor the changes in the marine ecosystem brought about by the discharge of treated municipal faecal and industrial wastewater, but also by other planned human activities in the internal sea waters of the Republic of Croatia. These parameters will have to be sufficient to establish a model of relatively proper quality of ecology state of the Adriatic Sea, which will enable insight into the present ecology state and potential future changes.
