Abstract
This book presents a systematisation and description of the knowledge on environment in the Boka Kotorska Bay in Montenegro (South Adriatic Sea). The publication is based on scientific and research data collected in complex research activities conducted in the Boka Kotorska Bay over the past 50 years, scientific papers mainly published in ex-Yugoslav and Montenegrin editions and long-standing experience of authors of the chapters in the scientific research in Montenegro. Particular attention was paid to activities on the coast of the Bay that have an impact on the status of flora and fauna in the Bay as well as on physico-chemical parameters of water, sediments and biota. Over the past decades, population migration issue has been particularly notable as well as development of tourist ship (cruise) transport, shipbuilding, development of mariculture, yachting tourism, natural effects from the land and runoff and evident climatic changes. This book is addressed to specialists working in various fields of environmental problems and ecology, water resources and management, land reclamation and agriculture and regional climate change in Montenegro and this part of the Mediterranean. The main task of this book is to provide scientific information on the status of environment in the Boka Kotorska Bay and give recommendations for the preservation of the living resources and healthy environment through sustainable development of this part of Montenegro.
