Maritime Spatial Plan(s)
Statut: MSP process ongoing
Croatia has not yet adopted an MSP but the entire territory of the Republic of Croatia is covered by various spatial plans, which comprise both terrestrial and marine areas. Following the requirements of the Physical Planning Act, preparation of the State Plan for Spatial Development for the entire terrestrial and marine area (up to the external limit of territorial waters) of Republic of Croatia has been initiated.

MSP legislation

The amendment to this Act (Official Gazette 65/17) came into force in July 2017, providing the complete transposition of the EU MSP Directive into the legislation of the Republic of Croatia.
