Research by Region: International

Italy

Like many coastal environments throughout the world, the watersheds of the Adriatic Sea are regions of rapid population growth and changing land-use patterns. Changes in the coastal ecosystems of Croatia, Italy, and Slovenia are making the coastal zone more susceptible to environmental hazards, more costly in which to live, and of less value to the regional economy. The overall goal of GLERL's involvement in the region is to cultivate a regional approach to environmental monitoring and forecasting in the Northern Adriatic Sea that will help manage coastal fisheries and tourism.
