As part of the project “Mapping, monitoring and management of the cross-border Natura 2000 network at sea (4M)”<\/a>, two diving sites were held in Montenegro.<\/p>\n

Between 07 – 11.09.2016. the area from Cape Arza to the place Bigovo (Tra\u010de bay) was mapped and from 26.09. – 02.10.2016. the area from Bigovo (Tra\u010de Bay)<\/strong> to Cape Platamuni<\/strong> was mapped.<\/p>\n

Field divers, employees of the Association <\/strong>Sunce and Public Institutions for the Management of Protected Areas of Nature of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County <\/a>and the volunteers of the Green Home Association<\/a>, the Ecologist Society of Montenegro<\/a>, the Institute of Marine Biology of Kotor<\/a> and the MedCEM Association<\/a> (MN) make sea bottom profiles for the purpose of describing marine species and habitats and maximum dive depths after each dive.<\/p>\n

When making diving profiles, divers use the manuals made in the project 4M: Inventory and Monitoring Manual for Marine Habitat<\/a> and the Marine Protection Handbook and the Recognition of the Living World of the Adriatic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We hope that the activities of mapping marine species and habitats, as well as the results of the <\/strong>research will get us to the completion of the project and <\/strong>speeding up the process of establishing marine protected areas in Montenegro.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the EU accession process, Montenegro has undertaken to protect at least 10% of the coast by 2020 and is currently the only Mediterranean country with no protected area in the sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
