The overall increase in maritime activities along the Montenegrin coast, and in the Adriatic–Ionian (ADRION) Region in general, may pose serious risks of pollution from hazardous substances for several coastal areas. In order to promote the sustainable use of the seas and, at the same time, preserve Good Environmental Status (GES), Montenegro, as well as most countries of the Mediterranean region, ratified the Mediterranean Action Plan of United Nations Environment Program (UNEP-MAP), aiming to reach and maintain GES in the framework of the Ecosystem Approach (EcAp), by implementing an Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme (IMAP) coherent and consistent with the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), the overarching European Union legal instrument for the marine environment.
