Abstract
The paper presents the legislation of Croatia and the EU on the prevention of sea water pollution by
wastewater from boats, yachts and other smaller vessels. The authors analyse the key legal determinants
and explain their impact on the pollution caused by the discharge of wastewater from boats, yachts and
other smaller vessels. The specifics of the Adriatic Sea with regard to potential pollution are determined
and the previous experiences and effects on the environment are explained.
It’s a fact that the national legislation is not effective enough in matters of marine environmental
protection, which is why the authors propose changes and qualitative solutions. A review of previous
research has shown that there are appropriate solutions and interest from boaters in terms of using
appropriate receiving stations for the reception of wastewater from vessels and boats. A SWOT analysis
was made where the strengths and opportunities for the establishment of an appropriate system of
receiving stations were identified.
