Abstract

The paper presents the understanding of intangible maritime heritage and raising awareness of its value
in the Kvarner region. The author refers to activities that began in 2009 through the cooperation of
several associations, individual enthusiasts and professionals from the Maritime and History Museum
of the Croatian Littoral in Rijeka. In the fifteen-year period, not only has the intangible part of maritime
traditional heritage been recognized, but activities have also been initiated to protect and maintain
it through maritime heritage festivals, lectures and public presentations, demonstration workshops,
training of young people and legal protection.
