Monitoring strategy description	Monitoring of contaminants, selected in accordance with the Directive 2000/60/EC, within coastal and territorial waters. Contaminant monitoring data provides an overview of chemical status of water bodies within coastal and territorial waters, as well as information on spatial and temporal changes, impacts and pressures. Monitoring strategy's main objectives are protection and improvement of quality of water bodies. Monitoring data will be used for the assessment of measures set to improve quality of water bodies, as well as development of policies to achieve and maintain good environmental status in marine waters, habitats and resources.

Programme description	An on-going monitoring program for the assessment of the environmental status in Croatian coastal and territorial waters has been carried out in accordance to the requirements of the MSFD (2008/56/EZ) and WFD (2000/60/EC). The criteria proposed by the EU Commission decision (EU) 2017/848, has been applied for the assessment of environmental status in regard to Descriptor 8. Assessment of adverse effects of contaminants on species populations and biological communities has been based on monitoring of biological effects of contaminants on selected marine organisms (D8C2).	There is not yet an agreed definition of "significant acute pollution events" on the EU or the national level. The elements for assessment are significant acute pollution events involving polluting substances, including crude oil and similar compounds. The spatial extent and duration of such events needs to be monitored. No threshold values have been set for the criteria D8C3 therefore, the criteria is not applied for the assessment of the status of the environment.	An on-going monitoring program for the assessment of the environmental status in Croatian coastal and territorial waters has been carried out in accordance to the requirements of the MSFD (2008/56/EZ) and WFD (2000/60/EC). The criteria proposed by the EU Commission decision (EU) 2017/848, has been applied for the assessment of environmental status in regard to Descriptor 8. The concentrations of priority (hazardous) substances, specific pollutants and certain additional contaminants, for which the environmental quality standard is defined by the Directive 2008/105/EC, were monitored within coastal and territorial waters in relevant matrices (water, sediment and biota) (D8C1). The obtained results were compared to the set EQS values and the one-out-all-out principle was applied for determination of the status of the environment.

Monitoring method other	The contaminant effects being monitored: Acetylcholinesterase activity in mussels, Lysosomal membrane stability in mussels, Metallothioneins concentration in mussels, Stress on stress in mussels DNA integrity - effect of genotoxic compounds, Neutral lipids - effect of organic pollutants, Water toxicity (Microtox®) and Sediment toxicity (Microtox®). The species used for the assessment of adverse effects of contaminants is Mytilus galloprovincialis. The tissues assessed include digestive gland, gills and the whole organism. Sediment and water toxicity is evaluated by an in vitro testing system using the bacterial strain Vibrio Fischeri. Threshold values for adverse effects (including cumulative and synergistic effects) on the health of species and the condition of habitats, are set on the national level.	Vessel Traffic Monitoring and Information System is going to collect all the necessary information on maritime traffic through different sensors, thus making possible to process, analyze, display in real time, store and replay all collected data, to share and distribute such information to the competent national and international authorities and institutions. In the case of oil pollution accident the following indicators of the effects of pollution could be measured: - Genotoxicity and toxicity of water samples - Biological effects in mussels (“Mussel Watch” if necessary)	Sampling procedure has been described in Marasovic I., Krstulovic, N., Leder, N., Loncar, G., Precali, R., Šolic, M., Loncar,.G., Beg- Paklar, G., Bojanic, N., Cvitkovic, I., Dadic, V., Despalatovic, M., Dulcic, J., Grbec, B., Kušpilic, G., Nincevic-Gladan, Ž., P.
