The Geoportal integrates and further develops existing databases, portals and tools developed within previous EU projects by local and national administrations and by other initiatives. Through this approach, most of the available knowledge and resources will be efficiently organized and made accessible through a single virtual space, thus supporting coordinated, regionally / transnationally coherent and transparent decision-making processes, with the perspective of remaining operative and being expanded well beyond the project conclusion. The Geoportal uses, feed and support transnational cooperation networks in all the phases of its creation, from the design, to the development, to its testing phase, enabling public authorities and stakeholders to apply a coordinated, integrated and trans-boundary approach. The Geoportal has been constructed to become a daily working tool for decision-makers, public and private managers, practitioners, marine scientists and stakeholders in general. To tackle the current fragmentation in the access to data and information in the AIR the Geoportal has been constructed to become a common, standard, interoperable and reusable access point. Existing infrastructures and information systems (e.g. ADRIPLAN Data Portal, SHAPE Adriatic Atlas completed with HAZADR tools, EMODnet Human Activities portal, etc.) are used as sources of information and integrated in the Geoportal capitalising on existing experiences so that a multiplicity of high-level products and tools will be made available together in a structured and integrated system. In addition to geo-data and mapping utilities the Geoportal also hosts tools to undertake spatial analysis to support ICZM and MSP processes. These tools include the Maritime Use Conflicts Analysis tool that was developed during ADRIPLAN project and further developed within the Italian Flagship Project RITMARE (Italian Research for the Sea). The tool is based on a methodology developed for the FP7 COEXIST Project and has the aim to (1) support MSP process through reallocation of maritime uses, (2) creation of collaborative conflict scores analysis; (3) iteration of the analysis over different time periods trough integration of new conflict scores and geospatial datasets on sea uses, (4) sea use scenario analysis and (5) overlay analysis. The Geoportal also include the Cumulative Effects Assessment tool aims to support the MSP process under an Ecosystem-Based Approach (EBA) by assessing the potential cumulative impacts of maritime activities on the marine environment. This tool too was initially developed during the ADRIPLAN Project and further development in a newer version within the RITMARE project. The tool was tested for the Adriatic-Ionian sub-basin, but can be deployed to any research area around the globe. Other tools available on the Geoportal are the Small Scale Fisheries (SSF) tool, the Medium Scale Fisheries (MSF) tool, the tool for Allocated Zones for Aquaculture (AZA), the Oil Spill tool, the ParTrac tool Tracking of particle with and without specific sinking velocity released on the sea surface). 4 1.2 MSP process in Slovenia Maritime spatial planning or spatial planning at sea is governed in Slovenia by Article 23 and 67 of the ZUreP-2, the Spatial Planning Act adopted in 2017, which defines the content within the regulation at sea. Articles 23 and 67 stipulate the following (cit.): The goal of the MSP is to promote growth and coexistence of activities and uses at sea so that sustainable development is achieved through examining the economic, environmental and social and safety aspects, while also considering the interaction and interdependence of land and sea. Regulation at sea is carried out mainly through spatial planning at sea, the purpose of which is to determine the types, extent, duration and areas of particular activities and uses at sea. Spatial planning at sea also contains guidelines for the preparation of inland spatial planning documents. An action programme shall be prepared and adopted for the implementation of the Strategy at sea. Its preparation shall be entrusted with the ministry and adopted by the Government. Participation of neighbouring countries shall be ensured during the drafting process. It must be consistent with the management plans adopted in accordance with the regulations governing the waters. The action programme for the implementation of the Strategy at sea shall be checked in terms of its compliance with the realities and needs in the area at least every ten years. The conditions for maritime spatial planning are indirectly determined by the Water Act, Nature Conservation Act and Environment Protection Act, which emphasise the assessment of potential impacts of the Maritime Spatial Plan on the protection of water, nature and the environment. The process of preparation of the MSP plan started in June 2019. The first formal step in the process is the preparation of the starting points, which provide the reasons for the preparation of the MSP, its main elements and key challenges, the steps of the plan preparation with the envisaged time frame, the process of cooperation with participants in spatial planning and the presentation of the legislative framework. The starting points published in the Spatial Information System represent the beginning of the formal process of preparing the MSP. A draft MSP (Action Plan SPRS) was produced in early 2020. The contract for the Environmental Report has been signed and public consultation on both documents is planned for autumn/winter of 2020-2021. Final adoption of MSP by the Government is expected by March 2021.The MSP (AP SPRS) shall be adopted according to Articles 67 and 73 of the Spatial Planning Act. The estimated time frame for the entire process is until March 2021. The preparation process itself is carried out in four steps: 1. The first step includes professional work together with the participants for the preparation of the draft MSP, the coordination of the contributions and identification of solutions for the MSP. 2. In the second step, a public hearing on the draft MSP will take place. 3. In the third step, the preparation of the MSP proposal and the adoption procedure at the Government of the Republic of Slovenia will take place. 4. The fourth step include the activities following the adoption and implementation of MSP and the transmission of MSP to the European Commission. 5 1.3 Contents of the report This report presents an overview on existing and planned uses of the Slovenian sea in chapter 2 and an overview on existing uses of the coast in chapter 3. Conflicts among uses are identified on chapter 4, based on available data and knowledge. Conflict analysis is further elaborated in chapter 5 with the application of the Multi-Use Conflict Tool available in the PORTODIMARE GeoPortal GAIR. Conclusions from the analysis

For this reason, over time, restoration programs have been put in place through transplantation activities, with different success. These actions have also been conducted with other Mediterranean marine seagrasses. The results of numerous transplanting operations conducted in the Northern Adriatic Sea and lagoons with Cymodocea nodosa, Zostera marina and Z. noltei and in the Central and Southern Adriatic Sea with P. oceanica (only within the project Interreg SASPAS), are herein presented and compared, taking also into account the presence of extensive meadows of C. nodosa, Z. marina and Z. noltei, along the North Adriatic coasts and lagoons.

  • Integrated Coastal Zone Management (Case Study on the Slovenian Mediterranean)
    VARSTVO NARAVE, 22 (2009) 47–62 47 INTEGRATED COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT (CASE STUDY ON THE SLOVENIAN MEDITERRANEAN) CELOVITO UPRAVLJANJE OBALNEGA OBMOČJA Mitja BRICELJ, Irena REJEC BRANCELJ Key words: pressures, environmental limits, ecosystem services, integrated coastal zone management, Slovenia Ključne besede: pritisk, okoljske omejitve, ekosistemske storitve, celovito upravljanje z obalnimi območji, Slovenija ABSTRACT A small percentage of Slovenia’s surface area belongs to the Mediterranean basin, yet the undersea, marine and coastal area is an exceptionally important natural landscape. This region has an opportunity to actively integrate a relatively well conserved and biologically extremely diversified ecosystem into development planning. Ecosystem-based management is increasingly being used to establish links between the processes of integrated coastal zone management and based on the application of the regional-geographical approach. The starting point for Integrated Coastal Zone Management is that land developers take into account the stress and impacts that their plans could have on the coast and the marine ecosystem, and propose the most appropriate developmental solutions. The project takes, as its basis, measures to reduce pressures from land and maritime activities that affect the marine ecosystem. Research was oriented at the collection of data at the level of pollution of the sea from various substances and their sources. The effects of pollution on the marine environment and organisms were explored, and changes over time in the status of the marine environment were investigated. Afterwards, the collected data measures for environmental improvement were determined and the effectiveness of interventions was monitored. A lack of coordination in coastal zone management was ascertained. During the next steps, cooperation between ministries, regional and local authorities was aligned.

  • Annex 5: Details on Closure of the Coastal Zone up to 6 Nautical Miles
    Annex 5: Details on closure of the coastal zone up to 6 nautical miles to all active towed gears By: Fabio Grati, Luca Bolognini, Edo Avdic Mravlje, Igor Isajlovic 06 May 2019 1) Slovenia Slovenian fisheries sector is very affected by the limited size of marine fishing area. The existence of two sea fishery reserves where all fishing activities are banned (Portorož and Strunjan fishery reserves) further limit the reduced Slovenian fishing area. Moreover, there is an important industrial port in the Gulf of Koper. Due to the safety and international rules, a common routing system and traffic separation scheme was established in the Northern Adriatic, which also has an important impact on fisheries. For all these reasons, mentioned above, Slovenia already has a derogation for Demersal trawlers, which allows fishing up to 1.5 nautical miles distance from the coast (Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2383). Establishment of the closure of the coastal zone up to 6 nautical miles would further reduce Slovenian fishing area to a minimum not suitable to maintain commercial fishing activities. 2) Croatia The most important regulation measures in Croatia are temporal and spatial trawl fishing restrictions (temporary or permanent prohibition in certain areas). This is a complex system created as a consequence of long-lasting evolution process in balancing exploitation needs with necessity for the protection of demersal resources. Croatian fishing sea consists of two parts: inner fishing sea with an area of 12,461 km2, encompassing inner sea from coastland to starting line, and outer sea consisting of territorial sea (area of 19,267 km2) and Protected environmental fishing zone – ZERP/PEFZ (area of about 25,000 km2).
