• Limited area (47 km coastline, 180 km2 territorial waters), • Shallow north Adriatic/ Bay of Triest (max.50 m, slovenian part – 35 m)
• Coastal area - “national value”,• Symbolic – “window to the world”• Economic importance, • Nature, biodiversity, cultural heritage

• Marine Spatial Planning – why is important for Slovenia?
• Global, cross border context:• Changing nature of pressures:• Political options: (North) Adriatic – A Particularly Sensitive Sea Area
or European gas terminal?
• National context:• small size and high importance of coastal-marine area,• spatial constrains, conflicts ---- land-sea interconnections;• growing pressures on marine uses.

• PlanCoast contribution
• Preparation of GIS data relevant to coastal or sea-use-planning
• Promotion of preparation of Marine Spatial plan – national and for the North Adriatic
• Awareness capacities raised among local, regional, national, cross-border target groups
• Recommendations on common principles for Marine-Use-Planning
• Contribution to spatial planning of a coastal strip in the framework of ICZM/CAMP Slovenia

Aspect Present situation Reccomendations
Public participation Strategic spatial plan preparation – with
no (explicit) public participation Public participation in MSP preparation
and adoption should be mandatory
International/cross border cooperation
Trilateral Commission (Slovenian – Croatian - Italian) for the protection of the Adriatic and the coastal areas against pollution
Strenghten international/CB cooperation
Trilateral commission – preparation of common strategic orientations and MSP for the Adriatic,

• Spatial planning of a coastal strip
• Data base on spatial regimes on the coastal strip,
• Integration – GIS;• Definition of a spatial coastal management
unit – “protected coastal strip”• Guidelines for spatial planning in the
coastal strip
