This is the first of two volumes that together provide an
integrated picture of the Montenegrin Adriatic coast, presenting
the natural components of the system as well as the chemical
composition and chemical processes in the extended area. This book
describes the biology and ecology of the high seas of the
Montenegrin coast, with a special focus on their biodiversity,
flora and fauna, fisheries, mariculture, marine reptiles and
mammals. The data has been collected through national and
international projects over the last few decades and provides the
reader with models and recommendations for the protection of this
vital region of the Adriatic coast, as well as scientific
recommendations for the sustainable use of its biological
resources. Given the breadth and depth of its coverage, the book
offers an invaluable source of information for researchers,
students and environmental managers alike.

This book focuses on environmental aspects of Boka Kotorska Bay in
Montenegro (South Adriatic Sea), an area that has been shaped by
seasonal tourism, and explores the use and limitations of its
natural resources. The individual chapters highlight its geographic
and oceanographic characteristics, climate, history and
development, biology, fisheries, agriculture, coastal zones,
shipping, marine tourism and pollution. Above all, the
environmental impact of tourism on marine, coastal and shoreline
areas and the resulting conflicts are discussed in detail. The
volume is intended for specialists working in various fields of
environmental sciences and ecology, water resources and management,
land reclamation and agriculture, and regional climate change.

This book focuses on the Adriatic Sea, which is part of the
Mediterranean. It includes 700 articles on the hydrographic and
geographic objects, hydrological features and biological resources,
as well as the administrative-territorial units of the Adriatic
countries, briefly describing significant natural objects like
islands, peninsulas, bays, rivers, mountains, and their
geographical peculiarities. It also covers the economy, culture and
history, cities, ports, international agreements, research
institutions and the activities of outstanding scientists,
researchers, and travelers. Lastly, it provides a chronology of the
main historical events that have become significant landmarks in
the history of discovery and exploration of the Adriatic Sea, from
the 625 B.C. to the present day.
