Sažetak
This paper describes basic characteristics of the marine environment and use conflicts in the coastal zone of R Slovenia. Despite its limited size the coastal area has rather an important role for the country's economy providing access to the Mediterranean Sea and possibilities for development of different maritime and shore-based activities.
Gross domestic product per inhabitant in the coastal region exceeds the Slovenian average, however, the economic importance of fishing and mariculture is small: its share of total value added in Slovenia was less than 0. 2 % in 2000. Due to limiteril space either onshore or in coastal waters aquaculture in Slovenia has to compete with other users, especially tourism and maritime transportation. While being sensitive to environmental problems aquaculture itself may have
a negative impact on the marine environment due to pollution with inorganic and organic nutrients, with potentially toxic chemicals and through spread of disease.
