Hydrographic Activities In the Adriatic

Početak organiziranog djelovanja u ovom znanstvenom području potječe iz 1806. godine, kad su nastali hidrografski radovi Charles François Beautemps-Beaupré-a. On je hidrografskim radovima u korist Francuske ratne mornarice, udario temelje moderne hidrografije na Jadranskom moru. Na njegovim temeljima u narednim godinama došlo je do ozbiljnijeg rasta u području hidrografske djelatnosti. Njegov rad predstavljao je osnovu za nastajanje novih i boljih hidrografskih radova u budućnosti. Razvoj tehnike kroz godine nametnuo je nova i kvalitetnija rješenja te se narednih godina za vrijeme vlasti Austrijskog Carstva i Austro-Ugarske vrše mnogobrojni hidrografski radovi. Tada je došlo do institucionaliziranja hidrografske djelatnosti te do prvog sustavnog premjera. Hidrografska djelatnost nastavila se intezivno razvijati i za vrijeme vladavine Kraljevine SHS i Jugoslavije. Ratne okolonosti tijekom prijelaznih godina iz jedne vlasti u drugu nisu bile blagonaklone za područje hidrografske djelatnosti, te su u vrijeme ratova često stradavali mnogi dragocjeni hidrografski izvornici i ostali hidrografski materijali. Današnji nositelj hidrografske djelatnosti za Republiku Hrvatsku je Hrvatski hidrografski institut koji svoju djelatnost obavlja na najvišoj mogućoj razini. U radu se analizira i daje pregled hidrografskih istraživanja na istočnoj obali Jadranskog mora.Organized hydrographic activity on the Adriatic Sea is one of the oldest organized hydrographic activity in the world. The beginning of organized action in this scientific area, dates from 1806, when hydrographic works occur by the famous Charles François Beautemps-Beaupré. By his hydrographic work in favor of the French Navy, he laid foundations of modern hydrography of the Adriatic Sea. On its foundation in the following years there has been a serious increase of the hydrographic activities. His work is the basis for the creation of new and better hydrographic work in the future. Development of techniques over the years has imposed new and better solutions and through the following years under the Austrian Empire and Austro-Hungarian Monarchy where it has been performed great amount of hydrographic work. In that period institutionalizing of the hydrographic activities and the first systematic survey has begun. Hydrographic activity continued intensive development during the reign of the Kingdom of Slovenians, Croats and Serbs and Yugoslavia. War circumstances during the transitional years from one government to another was not sympathetic to the area of hydrographic activities, and at the time of wars often perished many valuable hydrographic originals and other hydrographic materials. Today, the bearer of hydrographic activities in the Republic of Croatia is Croatian Hydrographic Institute, which carries out its activities at the highest possible level. This work analyzes and gives overview of hydrographic surveys on the east cost of the Adriatic Sea
