Sažetak
Beaches on the eastern Adriatic coast are the basis of Croatia’s tourism offering while also being under pressure from climate change. Data is necessary to manage beaches effectively, but data is lacking as well as the long awaited national strategy for coastal management. This paper collected data about beaches from regional documents, nourishment data was obtained by survey from local municipalities while beach construction data was obtained from aerial photogrammetry. Croatia has more than 1904 small gravel beaches and nourishment is performed in small increments beinnaly, while more than 27 % of existing beach area has been constructed all primarily for the needs of beaches, marines and tourism.
