Measure description	Prijedlog Sustava praćenja i promatranja za stalnu procjenu stanja Jadranskog mora, izrađen je i prihvaćen 2014. godine u okviru provedbe Okvirne direktive o morskoj strategiji (ODMS) u RH te je sastavni dio ove strategije. U skladu s preporukama EK ovaj se monitoring pokušalo sagledati i sa subregionalnog aspekta, kako s obzirom na prostornu pokrivenost i vremensku učestalost uzorkovanja, tako i s obzirom na izbor parametara za procjenu stanja. U ovom je Programu praćenja razrađeno praćenje stanja komponenti za svih 11 deskriptora ODMS. Zbog nedostatka financijskih sredstava program se još uvijek ne provodi. Stoga, u cilju racionalizacije troškova, podatke prikupljene ovim programom potrebno je objediniti s podacima prikupljenim kroz ostale nacionalne programe praćenja koji se provode u jadranskim vodama pod suverenitetom RH (1. Sustavno ispitivanje kakvoće prijelaznih i priobalnih voda Jadrana; 2. Praćenje stanja ribolovnih resursa – DCF; 3. Praćenje kakvoće mora i školjkaša na proizvodnim područjima i područjima za ponovno polaganje živih školjkaša; 4. Praćenje stanja očuvanosti stanišnih tipova i vrsta prema Direktivi o staništima te vrsta ptica u skladu s Direktivom o pticama) AKTIVNOSTI Aktivnosti predviđene u okviru Programa	Za učinkovitu provedbu procjene i praćenja stanja morskog okoliša kao i usklađenu provedbu mjera za ostvarivanje dobrog stanja morskog okoliša na razini podregije Jadranskog mora, potrebno je u okviru postojeće institucionalizirane platforme suradnje sa susjednim jadranskim državama, uzimajući u obzir obveze iz ODMS i Odluke EK 848/17 te UNEP/MAP-ovog Plana primjene (tzv. „roadmap“) ekosustavnog pristupa na Mediteranu koji predstavlja okvir za provedbu ODMS na regionalnoj razini, dogovoriti: okvirnu metodologiju procjene stanja morskog okoliša, utvrditi nedostatke („gap analiza“) postojećih sustava praćenja vezane uz pojedine deskriptore DSO te zajedničke elemente sustava praćenja područja izvan vanjskih granica teritorijalnih mora. Jadnako tako potrebno je dogovoriti i usklađenu provedbu nacionalnih mjera za postizanje DSO. Institucionalizranu platformu suradnje na stručnoj i političkoj razini predstavlja Mješovita komisija za zaštitu voda Jadranskog mora i obalnih područja (Mješovita komisija) osnovana 1977. temeljem Sporazuma o suradnji na zaštiti voda Jadranskog mora i obalnih područja od zagađivanja sklopljenog 1974. između bivše SFRJ i Talijanske Republike sa zadatkom multidisciplinarnog rješavanja problema okoliša u Jadranskom prostoru. Ugovorne strane Komisije su Italija te tri države bivše SFRJ: Hrvatska i Slovenija (od 1993.) te Crna Gora (od 2010. objavljeno na 11. sastanku Komisije u Anconi). Zadnji, 12. sastanak Mješovite komisije bio je održan 2011. godine u Portorožu.	Skup uređenih podataka o prostornoj i vremenskoj raspodjeli antropogenih izvora impulsne buke, jedan je od alata za praćenje antropogeno uzrokovane buke za koju je utvrđeno da ostvaruje pritisak na morske organizme. Ovom se mjerom planira izrada takvog alata kroz uspostavljanje i razvoj registra kojim bi se evidentirala i procjenjivala prostorna raspodjela, trajanje i razine izvora antropogenih impulsnih zvukova kojima se stvara značajan utjecaj na morske organizme. Metodologija koja se treba primjenjivati pri izradi takvog registra treba slijediti sljedeće smjernice: -Monitoring Guidance for Underwater Noise in European Seas, Part II: Monitoring Guidance Specifications, JRC Scientific and Policy Report EUR 26555 EN, Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg, 2014, doi: 10.2788/27158“; -CMS Family Guidelines on Environmental Impact Assessment for Marine Noise generating Activities prihvaćene Rezolucijom 12.14 na 12. konferenciji stranaka CMS (UNEP/CMS/Resolution 12.14 on Adverse Impacts of Anthropogenic Noise on Cetaceans and Other Migratory Species); -ACCOBAMS-MOP7/2019/Doc38/Annex15/Res.7.13 – Anthropogenic noise – Annex 2. Guidelines to address the impact of anthropogenic noise on cetaceans in the Accobams area.	Putem mjernih postaja i akustičkim modeliranjem, nadzirati trendove razina kontinuirane podvodne buke unutar tercnih pojasa 63 i 125 Hz (srednja frekvencija) na način kako je preporučeno u „Monitoring Guidance for Underwater Noise in European Seas, Part II: Monitoring Guidance Specifications, JRC Scientific and Policy Report EUR 26555 EN, Publications Office of the EuropeanUnion, Luxembourg, 2014, doi: 10.2788/27158“. Način i detalji nadzora (program praćenja) trendova razina kontinuirane podvodne buke navedeni su u dokumentu: Odluka o donošenju akcijskog programa strategije upravljanja morskim okolišem i obalnim područjem: Sustav praćenja i promatranja za stalnu procjenu stanja Jadranskog mora (2021. – 2026.); Narodne novine, br. 28/21.	Suradnja sa zemljama članicama s kojima dijelimo Jadransko more na provedbi Mjere 3.7.1 i Mjere 3.7.2. Na sve moguće načine poticanje i omogućavanje jačanja znanja o mogućem utjecaju buke na morske organizme u Jadranskom moru, dijeljenje iskustava drugih zemalja iz područja primjene Deskriptora 11, posebno aktivnosti, koje su sadržane u Mjerama 3.7.1 i 3.7.2.
