Italia-Croatia

Habitat pressures assessment and strategy development through stakeholder collaboration

To transform an organised box of data into shared, implementable, concrete actions addressing coastal nautical pressure mitigation and the protection of valuable habitats, the project developed a step-by-step program of large-stakeholder engagement and consultation actions.

These are the Final Outputs to achieve:

Cross-border strategy to mitigate nautical, beach-based, and recreational tourism pressure existing in the coastal pilot areas. Adopted by a Memorandum of Understanding, it is characterised by strong stakeholder involvement and is based on the results of 2 pilot actions and on the toolbox of solutions, containing measures identified during the project to reduce biodiversity loss caused by beach and leisure boating tourism.

Reaching integrated solutions for coastal habitat impact mitigation

To mitigate impacts from beach and leisure boating tourism on coastal habitats the project is developing and testing pilot actions in five areas in Croatia (Kornati National Park, Badija and the islands around Korčula, Pakleni Islands) and Italy (Panzano Bay – Monfalcone, MPA Porto Cesareo).  

These are the Final Outputs to achieve:

Cross-border designed pilot actions to mitigate nautical, beach-based and recreational tourism pressure in the coastal pilot areas. The pilot action results, togheter with a range of targeted solutions for the local coastal habitat protection and the safeguarding and ecosystem services will be an integral part of the project strategy adopted by an agreement within the BIOPRESSADRIA network.
