ISBN 978-953-57201-1-9 Riječ ravnateljice Poštovani, pred vama je Plan upravljanja Nacionalnim parkom Mljet, izrađen temeljem Zakona o zašti- ti prirode (NN 80/13). Planom upravljanja određuju se ciljevi upravljanja i aktivnosti za njihovo postizanje te pokazatelji učinkovitosti upravljanja u posljednjih deset godina, a provodi se go- dišnjim programima zaštite, očuvanja, održavanja, korištenja i promicanja zaštićenog područ- ja. Plan je nastao kao rezultat dugogodišnje suradnje svih korisnika Parka, onih koji u njemu žive, djelatnika Ustanove i predstavnika državne uprave, lokalne samouprave, nevladinih udru- ga i svih ostalih koji su pridonijeli na radionicama i u raspravama. Pripremna faza izrade Plana upravljanja počela je tijekom svibnja 2011. projektom Med- PAN South, organizacijom radionice za dionike NP-a Mljet o mogućnostima sudjelovanja u zaštiti, očuvanju i upravljanju zaštićenim područjem u sklopu kojeg je provedena i analiza ankete o razumijevanju postupka planiranja upravljanja zaštićenim područjima. Provedbu ovih radionica koordinirao je Institut za istraživanje i razvoj održivih ekosustava (IRES). Konačnu izradu Plana upravljanja koordinirala je Udruga za prirodu, okoliš i održivi razvoj Sunce iz Splita. Kako bismo dobili uvid u mišljenje dionika, u proljeće 2013. anketirali smo dionike i odr- žali nekoliko radionica na Mljetu. Djelatnici stručne službe, službe čuvara prirode i turistič- ke službe Javne ustanove proveli su 18 anketa i tom prilikom razgovarali s predstavnicima različitih državnih i znanstvenih institucija te organizacija civilnog društva koje već godi- nama djeluju na području Parka ili imaju određene nadležnosti. NP Mljet iznimno je važno područje za očuvanje biološke raznolikosti u Hrvatskoj, a neke vrste i staništa relevantni su i na svjetskoj razini. Očuvana priroda najveća je vrijednost ovog područja i njezine dobrobiti za lokalno stanovništvo, posjetitelje i ostale dionike neupitne su. Pomno isplanirano upravljanje ključno je za ostvarivanje dugoročnih ciljeva koje smo postavili kako bismo osigurali očuvanje prirodnih i kulturno- povijesnih vrijednosti te po- stavili temelje za održivi pristup životu i boravku u Parku. Temeljna zadaća nacionalnog parka jest očuvanje izvornih prirodnih i krajobraznih vri- jednosti. U viziji razvoja područja Parka osobito je potreba suživota čovjeka i prirode koji ovom prostoru daju jedinstven pečat. Želimo pronaći model održivog razvoja koji će osigu- rati zajednički rast i sklad između čovjeka i prirode, a vjerujemo da smo ovim Planom upravljanja u tome i uspjeli, jer jedino tako možemo sačuvati Park za buduće naraštaje. Ovom prilikom zahvaljujem svim djelatnicima Ustanove, suradnicima i lokalnim stanov- nicima koji su se aktivno uključili u izradu Plana upravljanja.

UVOD ZAKONODAVNI OKVIR UPRAVLJANJA ZAŠTIĆENIM PODRUČJEM Nacionalni park Mljet (NP Mljet/Park) 15. prosinca 1960. godine proglašen je Zakonom o proglašenju zapadnog dijela otoka Mljeta nacionalnim parkom (NN 49/60), a njegova gra- nica određena je Rješenjem o određivanju granica Nacionalnog parka Mljet (NN 41/62). Status zaštićenog područja ovo je područje Mljeta dobilo zbog iznimne ljepote krajolika, bogatog biljnog pokrova, vrijedne kulturne baštine i obilježja reljefa. Nacionalni park prostrano je, pretežno neizmijenjeno područje kopna i/ili mora iznimnih i višestrukih prirodnih vrijednosti koje obuhvaća jedan ili više sačuvanih ili neznatno iz- mijenjenih ekosustava, a prvenstveno je namijenjen očuvanju izvornih prirodnih i krajo- braznih vrijednosti. Nacionalni park ima i znanstvenu, kulturnu, odgojno-obrazovnu te rekreativnu namjenu, a u njemu su dopušteni zahvati i djelatnosti kojima se ne ugrožava izvornost prirode. Zabranjena je gospodarska uporaba prirodnih dobara, osim ugostitelj- sko-turističkih i rekreacijskih djelatnosti koje su u ulozi posjećivanja te drugih djelatnosti sukladno pravilniku iz članka 142. Zakona o zaštiti prirode. Cijelo područje NP-a Mljet uvršteno je u ekološku mrežu. Ekološka mreža Republike Hr- vatske, proglašena Uredbom o ekološkoj mreži (NN 124/13, NN 105/15), jest sustav među- sobno povezanih ili prostorno bliskih ekološki važnih područja, koja uravnoteženom bio- geografskom raspoređenošću uvelike pridonose očuvanju prirodne ravnoteže i bioraznolikosti. Sastavni je dio ekološke mreže zaštićenih područja Europske unije (Natura 2000). Temelj za proglašenje mreže Natura 2000 jesu Direktiva o očuvanju prirodnih stani- šta i divljih životinjskih i biljnih vrsta (Direktiva o staništima, 92/43/EEZ) i Direktiva o za- štiti divljih ptica (Direktiva o pticama 79/409/EEZ; 2009/147/EEZ). Države članice reguliraju očuvanje područja Natura 2000 vlastitim zakonodavstvom, a prema načelima održivog razvoja i u skladu s relevantnim direktivama. Zaštita prirode i upravljanje zaštićenim područjima u Hrvatskoj uređeno je Zakonom o zaštiti prirode (NN 80/13). Prema ovom zakonu upravljanje zaštićenim područjem obavlja javna ustanova. Javna ustanova Nacionalni park Mljet (JU/JUNP Mljet/Javna ustanova/Usta- nova) osnovana je 1996. godine, dok su pravni prethodnici Javne ustanove Javno poduzeće (1992. – 1997.) i Organizacija udruženog rada (u osamdesetima). Javna ustanova štiti, održava i promiče zaštićeno područje u cilju zaštite i očuvanja izvor- nosti prirode, osigurava neometano

AN ROMAN PERIOD SHIPWRECK WITH A CARGO OF AMPHORAE ROMaN PeRIOD ShIPWRecK IN The ČaVLIN ShaLLOWS There are several hundred Roman pe- riod shipwrecks in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, the majority of which are devastated, but about a dozen of which have survived the ravages of time and unethical looters. They have been preserved intact, or with only minor damage, which offers underwater archaeologists an oppor- tunity for complete research. The very large number of Roman ship- wrecks is not unexpected, but speaks rather of the intensity of trade and importance of navigation on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea, and of the dangers our sea hides. Roman period shipwrecks can be dated either by the type of cargo they carried or by some further analysis (the age of the wood, for example), and the datings range from the 4th century BC to the 6th century. The cargos of these ships were varied: from fine pot- tery, vessels and plates, stone construction elements and brick to the most frequent cargo – amphorae. The amphora was used as packag- ing from the period of the Greece colonisation to the late Roman and the Byzantine supremacy. There are remains of shipwrecks with cargos of amphorae that can be researched on the seabed, covered by Archaeological underwater excavation with the aid of a water dredge protective iron cages, and there are those that, as per documentation, need to be raised to the surface and presented on land.

  • Hrvatski Jadranski Otoci, Otočići I Hridi
    Hrvatski jadranski otoci, otočići i hridi Sika od Mondefusta, Palagruţa Mjerenja obale istoĉnog Jadrana imaju povijest; svi autori navode prvi cjelovitiji popis otoka kontraadmirala austougarske mornarice Sobieczkog (Pula, 1911.). Glavni suvremeni izvor dugo je bio odliĉni i dosad još uvijek najsustavniji pregled za cijelu jugoslavensku obalu iz godine 1955. [1955].1 Na osnovi istraţivanja skupine autora, koji su ponovo izmjerili opsege i površine hrvatskih otoka i otoĉića većih od 0,01 km2 [2004],2 u Ministarstvu mora, prometa i infrastrukture je zatim 2007. godine objavljena opseţna nova graĊa, koju sad moramo smatrati referentnom [2007].3 No, i taj pregled je manjkav, ponajprije stoga jer je namijenjen specifiĉnom administrativnom korištenju, a ne »statistici«. Drugi problem svih novijih popisa, barem onih objavljenih, jest taj da ne navode sve najmanje otoĉiće i hridi, iako ulaze u konaĉne brojke.4 Brojka 1244, koja je sada najĉešće u optjecaju, uopće nije dokumentirana.5 Osnovni izvor za naš popis je, dakle, [2007], i u graniĉnim primjerima [2004]. U napomenama ispod tablica navedena su odstupanja od tog izvora. U sljedećem koraku pregled je dopunjen podacima iz [1955], opet s obrazloţenjima ispod crte. U trećem koraku ukljuĉeno je još nekoliko dodatnih podataka s obrazloţenjem.6 1 Ante Irić, Razvedenost obale i otoka Jugoslavije. Hidrografski institut JRM, Split, 1955. 2 T. Duplanĉić Leder, T.

The Romans became seafarers out of necessity, not because they had any inclination to become so, because through Ggradual spread of their authority and power to the Mediterranean coasts they were forced to learn the shipbuild- ing technique and seafaring skill from other peoples, particularly from the maritime Etruscans, Greeks and Carthaginians. The eastern Adriatic coast had been connected from prehistory, antiquity and the Middle Ages with places at the western coast of the Adriatic Sea, but also with certain areas of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to fishing, exchange of goods and travel, the Adriatic Sea also experienced shipwrecks, as testified by a number of finds.

  • Home Port Dubrovnik - Mljet Island
    SEVEN DAYS SOUTH ADRIATIC ROUTE Day 1: Home Port Dubrovnik - Mljet Island The charter begins with embarkation in one of the world’s most stunning destinations: The City of Dubrovnik. The city has often been referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic" and was inducted into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979 as a city of rich culture and history. The Old Town of Dubrovnik is surrounded by 1,970 metres of city walls. Dubrovnik is an elite destination famous for its beautiful beaches, pristine sea, top-notch restaurants, chic five-star hotels and adventure sports facilities. After the embarkation of the guests, the charter makes its way to the beautiful Mljet Island. This is Croatia's greenest island, covered by a dense Mediterranean forest. It is famous for its sandy shoreline, clear and clean sea, and a wealth of underwater sea life. This unspoiled island is well known for its white and red wine, olives and goat cheese. It is the place to peacefully enjoy the pristine beauty of the nature. Mljet National Park covers the entire north-west part of Mljet Island. An amazing natural gem found on Mljet is the Veliko (Big) and Malo (Small) lakes. These lakes are found within the Mljet islands and are known for having very warm water during the summer, between 24 and 29°C. The salinity on the surface of the lakes is even lower than in the open sea. In the Veliko lake, guests will also be able to visit tiny St. Mary’s island famous for its historic monastery and church.

  • The Small Indian Mongoose Herpestes Auropuncatus in The
    The Small Indian Mongoose Herpestes auropuncatus (Hodgson 1836)in the Balkans A synopsis of it’s introduction and recent information. David Bird Background 1.The Area • The Mediterranean basin to which the Balkans and the Adriatic sea belong is regarded as a one of the biodiversity hotspots especially where Reptiles and Amphibians are concerned (Myers,N.et.al 2000) with several endemic species and subspecies so should be a conservation priority for Europe. The Balkans is not only important for herpetofauna but for many other taxa and has a book dedicated to it (Griffiths,H.I et al. 2004). Chapter 10 of the book concerns the herpetofauna giving details of the number of endemic species for specific areas (Džukić & Kalezić 2004) the so called “Adriatic triangle” which covers Montenegro and adjacent Albania & Croatia having 10 endemic species. A recent checklist and bibliography has been produced for Croatia (Jelić 2014). Any invasive alien predator becoming widespread in this region may have dire consequences for its herpetological biodiversity . 2. The Problem itself • The Small Indian Mongoose has been successfully introduced into many areas around the World especially on islands for biological control of pest and unwanted species especially snakes but is now considered to be one of the worst invasive animals appearing on the I.U.C.N.’s worst 100 invasive species list ( I.U.C.N. 2000). Island species with no experience of predatory mammals have been badly affected with some species of herpetofauna having become extinct (Honneger,R.E. 1981). At least 64 islands around the World have this mongoose on them and they have been eradicated from 6 islands.
