Biodiversity monitoring in the Kornati Archipelago, Croatia : Protocols for the monitoring of Natura 2000 and Croatian red list habitats and species

Like any other EU member stat Croatia will need to meet the rules and regulations associated with Natura 2000 after EU accession. Member states periodically need to report to the European Commission on the implementation of conservation measures taken and its impact on the conservation status of Natura 2000 habitats and species concerned. Regular monitoring is essential to gather the data that are needed to meet these EU-obligations.
