Sažetak

Nautical tourism represents a significant component of the blue economy in Mediterranean countries
such as Croatia, Greece, Italy, France, and Spain. Collectively, these states account for a substantial
share of European marina infrastructure, yet their governance frameworks and modes of utilization of
the maritime public domain for nautical tourism vary considerably. Although all five countries legally
recognize the sea, seabed, and coastal zones as inalienable public goods subject to special protection,
their practical implementation differs significantly. The results of this study demonstrate the absence
of a uniform Mediterranean model for managing the maritime public domain in the context of nautical
tourism. To address this complexity, the authors propose three conceptual indices: (1) the Real-Estate
Intensity Index (REI), (2) the Legal Flexibility Index (LFI), and (3) the Public Access Index (PAI).
These indices are designed to quantify the degree of real estate integration.
