Protection of coastal and marine habitats and species is also highly important in Slovenia, particularly considering the ecosystem service they provide to support some of the economic activities, such as coastal tourism and fisheries.
Which maritime spatial plans exist?
Currently, there is no legally binding Maritime Spatial Plan (MSP) in Slovenia.
MSP legislation
The MSP Directive is implemented in Slovenia through the framework of the Spatial Planning Act adopted in 2017 (OG no. 61/17 – ZUreP-2). A draft MSP (AP SPRS) was produced in early 2020. The contract for the Environmental Report has been signed and public consultation on both documents is expected to take place in autumn of 2020. Final adoption of MSP by the Government is expected by the end of 2020.
National MSP authority
The Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning (Spatial Planning, Construction and Housing Directorate).
