Methodological Handbook on MSP in the Adriatic Sea Shape Final Conference Dissemination of Shape Results February 2013, Bologna, IT Shape Shaping an Holistic Approach to Protect the Adriatic Environment between coast and sea. The three year Shape project (2011-2014) involved 13 partners from six Adriatic Sea countries and was co-funded by the IPA Adriatic Cross-border Cooperation Programme of the European Union. It aimed at contributing to the development of a multilevel and cross-sector governance system, based on an holistic approach and integrated management of natural resources, risk prevention and conflicts resolution among uses and users of the Adriatic coast and sea. Project activities promoted the application and the successful implementation of Integrated Coastal Zone Management and Maritime Spatial Planning in the Adriatic region. The present handbook is intended as a methodological and practical guide aiming to support the future evolution of the MSP approach in the Adriatic Region. In this view it mainly addresses institutional officals, planners and experts on MSP issues, illustrating what they can do to further disseminate and concretely implement MSP in an Adriatic cross-border perspective. www.shape-ipaproject.eu METHODOLOGICAL HANDBOOK ON MARITIME SPATIAL PLANNING IN THE ADRIATIC SEA METHODOLOGICAL HANDBOOK ON MARITIME SPATIAL PLANNING IN THE ADRIATIC SEA EXTERNAL EXPERT: THETIS SPA Shape partners Authors MILIA OMAGNA EGION ENERAL IRECTION FOR E R R - G D EMILIANO RAMIERI (THETIS) ENVIRONMENT AND FOR SOIL AND COAST PROTECTION, ITALY ELISA ANDREOLI (THETIS) (SHAPE PROJECT LEADER, WP1 AND WP2 COORDINATOR) ANGIOLA FANELLI (THETIS) ENETO EGION ROGETTO ENEZIA EPARTMENT TALY V R - P V D , I GIOVANNI ARTICO (VENETO REGION) (WP4 COORDINATOR) ROBERTO BERTAGGIA (VENETO REGION) PRIORITY ACTIONS PROGRAMME - REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTRE, UNEP-MAP (WP3 COORDINATOR) Contributors SHAPE PARTNERS REGIONAL AGENCY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION OF MOLISE, ITALY ECAT TIRANA - ENVIRONMENTAL CENTRE FOR ADMINISTRATION Layout & design AND TECHNOLOGY, ALBANIA CLAUDIA OMBRELLI (THETIS) MINISTRY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AND PHYSICAL PLANNING, Cover photo BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA SUNSET IN VENICE LAGOON - PHOTO BY THETIS Photographic material INSTITUTE FOR PHYSICAL PLANNING REGION OF ISTRIA, CROATIA SHAPE PARTNERS, THETIS REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT CENTRE KOPER, SLOVENIA (WP5 COORDINATOR) PUBLIC ENTERPRISE FOR COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT, Suggested reference ONTENEGRO M RAMIERI E., E.

  • Making Sense of Memory
    Copyright © Museum Tusculanums Press Making Sense of Memory Monuments and Landscape in Croatian Istria1 Jonas Frykman Frykman, Jonas 2003: Making Sense of Memory. Monuments and Landscape in Croatian Istria. – Ethnologia Europaea 33:2: 107–120. When the actual terror is over, how do you reconcile without trying to pay back? With the falling apart of Yugoslavia, past, suppressed injustices remerged and were frequently used to connect the present with bitter memories. In the ethnically diverse region of Istria, however, it has been difficult for any group to claim its interpretation of history to be superior to others. Seeking to explain the Istrian case and within it the role of the esuli, the article juxtaposes the material discourse represented by monuments with the workings of memory and the dynamics which jostle sleeping, hidden, or private memory into public discourse. It is argued that in Istria, the absence of an ethnic “master narrative,” and the coexistence of many different groups sharing the territory has been useful for keeping nightmarish memory of ethnic violence at bay. Instead, place has come to matter more than history. Within landscapes and monuments, experiences of terror and narratives of martyrdom find a resting place, however uneasy.

  • From the Adriatic to the Black Sea: the Italian Economic and Military Expansion Endeavour in the Balkan-Danube Area
    Studies in Political and Historical Geography Vol. 8 (2019): 117–137 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2300-0562.08.07 Corrado Montagnoli From the Adriatic to the Black Sea: The Italian economic and military expansion endeavour in the Balkan-Danube area Abstract: During the years that followed the end of the Great War, the Adriatic area found itself in a period of deep economic crisis due to the emptiness caused by the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The ancient Habsburg harbours, which had recently turned Italian, had lost their natural positions of Mitteleuropean economic outlets toward the Mediterranean due to the new political order of Central-Eastern Europe. Rome, then, attempted a series of economic manoeuvres aimed at improving Italian trade in the Julian harbours, first of all the port of Trieste, and at encouraging Italian entrepreneurial penetration in the Balkans. Resolved in a failure, the desire for commercial boost toward the oriental Adriatic shore coincided with the Dalmatian Irredentism and became a topic for claiming the 1941 military intervention across the Balkan peninsula. Italian geopoliticians, who had just developed the geopolitical discipline in Italy, made the Adriatic-Balkan area one of their most discussed topics. The fascist geopolitical project aimed at creating an economic aisle between the Adriatic and the Black Sea, in order to bypass the Turkish straits and become completion and outlet toward the Mediterranean of the Nazi Baltic-Mitteleuropean space in the north. Rome attempted the agreement with the other Danubian States, which subscribed the Tripartite Pact, in order to create a kind of economic cooperation area under the Italian lead.

Following global changes, Croatia is experiencing increasing problems due to the introduction of new species that include aliens (due to aquaculture activities and ship- ping) and species from other Mediterranean subregions that are extending their geographic range. This work provides a checklist of introduced species in Croatian waters. A total of 113 species (15 phytoplankton, 16 zooplankton, 16 macroalgae, 44 zoobenthic and 22 fish species) have been recorded in the eastern part of the Adriatic Sea, of which 61 species are alien and 52 introduced, due to climate change.

Martin c/o ICWA 4 West Wheelock St. Hanover, N.H. 03755 USA Dear Peter, Pula, CROATIA Navigating along a sandy coast is a tricky business. Winter storms move shoals from one year to the next and maps of the sea's floor quickly go out-of-date. So last September, when rented a boat with some friends and set out down along Slovenia's shore, I was relieved to find we were skirting a rocky rim. After years of crossing disputed borders, I could finally stop worrying whether my map was right. The land of the Istrian peninsula is so firm that medieval Venetian churches still stand secure just a few feet from the water's edge. Their square bell towers are better landmarks than harbor bouys. Leaving Koper and sailing east, all you have to do is count them, as you might bus stops on a familiar route. But the towers are also a testament to the strength of the lost Venetian Republic that built them. Only a great trading power could have kept routes open long enough to allow their slow rise from the shore, CHANDLER ROSENBERGER is a John 0.

Hydrometeorological Institute, Hydrology Department 2. Faculty of Geology and Mining, Polytechnic University of Tirana 3. Albanian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Informatics and Applied Mathematics 4. Polytechnic University, Department of Mathematics and Informatics Abstract. Albanian coastal area in the Mediterranean sea is about 380 km. long with about1 284 km along the Adriatic Sea, and the remain 96 km facing the Ionian Sea. This area represents the Easter side of Otranto Strait. River mouths and deltas, lagoons system, abandoned riverbeds, inland, marsh labyrinths, sandy beaches, dunes covered with vegetation, dens forests, represent Albanian littoral, with enormous international importance for its biodiversity and natural productivity. This area is considered one of the most complicated natural areas of the Mediterranean Sea. In this paper it is attempted to present a general evaluation of the natural particularities of the sea coast in Albania. Morphological classification and coastal evaluation are the principal components of the paper. Marine and onshore integrated surveys and the studies for investigation, monitoring and estimation of the physical characteristics of the Albanian coastal area were performed during the period 1958-2005. The natural particularities of the sea coast is mainly determined by variation of the impact of climate change, continental water discharge in the sea, suspended load discharge, wave refraction, trajectory of the main marine currents in the coastal area, etc. The shores have differences concerning geological, climatic, geomorphologic, sediment logic. Fluvial features in structure of a coastal zone and talasographic field.

  • Fisheries and Biodiversity
    First section Fisheries and biodiversity Photo from MiPAAF archive Chapter 2 Ecological aspects Italian seas and the subdivision of the Mediterranean Sea in GSA Considerations on data collection for the evaluation of living resources and the monitoring of fisheries on the fleets that operate in the Mediterranean Sea determined the subdivision of the latter in a series of reference areas for both management activities and scientific surveys. Such areas represent a compromise among legislative, geographic and environmental aspects. The Mediterranean Sea was subdivided in 30 sub-areas, named GSA (Geographic Sub Areas). The term “sub” refers to the fact that the Mediterranean Sea is one of the 60 Large Marine Ecosystems on the planet. Geographical Sub-Areas in the GFCM area were established amending the Resolution GFCM/31/2007/2, on the advise of the GFCM Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). The 30 areas largely differ in size and characteristics. The geographic division of fisheries areas in the Mediterranean Sea is still evolving and is subject to periodical improvement by SAC. 1 Northern Alboran Sea 11.2 Sardinia (east) 22 Aegean Sea 2 Alboran Island 12 Northern Tunisia 23 Crete Island 3 Southern Alboran Sea 13 Gulf of Hammamet 24 North Levant 4 Algeria 14 Gulf of Gabes 25 Cyprus Island 5 Balearic Island 15 Malta Island 26 South Levant 6 Northern Spain 16 South of Sicily 27 Levant 7 Gulf of Lions 17 Northern Adriatic 28 Marmara Sea 8 Corsica Island 18 Southern Adriatic Sea 29 Black Sea 9 Ligurian and North Tyrrhenian Sea 19 Western Ionian Sea 30 Azov Sea 10 South Tyrrhenian Sea 20 Eastern Ionian Sea 11.1 Sardinia (west) 21 Southern Ionian Sea 17 2.1 Environmental characterisation of fishing areas 2.1.1 GSA 9 - Ligurian and Northern Tyrrhenian Seas Relini G., Sartor P., Reale B., Orsi Relini L., Mannini A., De Ranieri S., Ardizzone G.D., Belluscio A., Serena F.
