Abstract
In August 2016 the Ordinance on Amendments to the Ordinance on Strictly Protected Species (Official Gazette 73/2016) was adopted and entered into force. It amends the existing Ordinance on Strictly Protected Species (Official Gazette 144/2013). Changes compared to the former Ordinance relate to the strict protection of hybrids where one or both parents belong to strictly protected species. Furthermore, strict protection is proclaimed for plant species Salvinia natans (L.) All. and Trapa natans L., except on fishponds, as well as for the moss Mannia triandra (Scop.) Grolle which has recently been confirmed for Croatia. A total of 983 species, subspecies and hybrids of plants without algae (Plantae – Spermatophyta, Pteridophyta, Bryophyta) are strictly protected by the new Ordinance, as well as 22 species and varieties of algae (Algae). The Ordinance with amendments is cited as Ordinance on Strictly Protected Species (Official Gazette 144/2013, 73/2016).
