Marine Fisheries and Biodiversity Expert - Coast
The UNDP-GEF project COAST focuses the problem of biodiversity and landscape protection and conservation in Dalmatia within a multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral context. The project will help Croatia seize the opportunity to improve the conservation of globally significant biodiversity in the Dalmatian coastal region before tourism and related economic development cause irreversible damage to the ecosystems. Therefore, the overall objective of the COAST project is to ensure that the development path of the Croatian coast is environmentally friendly, with the conservation of biological diversity firmly mainstreamed into that development path. The Project will work at several levels: i) national– by promoting reform of the enabling environment; ii) regional (sub-national) - by integrating biodiversity concerns in development planning; iii) local – by developing and implementing, at 4 demonstration sites, best practices for Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) aimed at bio- and landscape diversity conservation and protection; and iv) sectoral – by working directly with the private sector and by making key industrial sectors biodiversity friendly.
