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.
