Sažetak
A sudden oil spill in marine protected area (MPA) has the consequences larger than in any other parts of marine space. It threatens the very purpose of establishing MPA as well as the future of communities which depend on it. Croatia protects the most valuable parts of the sea through the protection levels adjusted to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) guidelines what makes 2% of a total sea area throughout the coastline. The Croatian Contingency Plan for Accidental Marine Pollution of 2008 recognizes the importance of MPA by giving it the priority in action, but recent findings suggest that should be updated (the need for adjustment) since the priority in acting is not enough privilege of MPA. When a majority of pollution comes as the operational spill from ships, there is a need for permanent control and sampling of the sea inside MPA. As response time is a crucial factor, especially trained staff and equipment should be available on the site as close as possible to the protected area of the sea. This paper presents recommendations that should be taken into consideration while updating (in drafting) new Croatian Contingency Plan.
