This review is based on the AdriaMed Technical Document N°14 Rev2 “General outline of marine capture fisheries legislation and regulations in the Adriatic Sea Countries”. The document represents the effort of the FAO AdriaMed Project to provide background information on legislative topics of importance to marine capture fisheries in the countries bordering the Adriatic Sea (Albania, Croatia, Italy, Serbia-Montenegro and Slovenia).

This review was realized with the support and supervision of each country participating in AdriaMed.

For additional information please consult also the FAOLEX website.
