Measure name	Usklađeno provoditi nacionalni program praćenja u skladu s Okvirnom direktivnom o morskoj strategiji s ostalim nacionalnim programima praćenja koji se provode u jadranskim vodama pod suverenitetom Republike Hrvatske	Uskladiti pristupe izrade i provedbe dokumenata Strategije na podregionalnoj razini Jadranskog mora (nova mjera)
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.
