Analysis of the Implementation of the Marine Waste Collection

Ovim diplomskim radom obuhvaćena je problematika morskog otpada. Objašnmjena je podjela morskog otpada prema mjestu i načinu nastanka, vrsti otpada, te su prikazani različiti čimbenici koji utječu na njegovu količinu i sastav. Obuhvaćeni su načini njegovog prikupljanja u Republici Hrvatskoj, prikazane su mjere i model provedbe plana gospodarenja takvim otpadom unutar RH te je posebna pažnja posvećena jednoj od mjera, a to je prikupljanje morskog otpada putem ronilačkih eko akcija. Napravljena je analiza prikupljenih podataka na takvim akcijama u prethodnih nekoliko godina u RH te su navedeni projekti koji se provode u cilju uklanjanja i propisnog zbrinjavanja otpada s morskog dna te podizanja svijesti građana. Na kraju rada osmišljen je primjer plana provedbi mjera kjoi bi na pravilan način prikupljao, bilježio i analizirao podatke o morskom otpadu putem ronilačkih eko akcija.This thesis covers the issue of marine waste. The division of marine waste according to place, method of generation and type of waste is explained, and numerous factors influencing its quantity and composition are presented. The methods of its collection in the Republic of Croatia are covered, the measures and the model of the implementation plan for the management of such waste within the Republic of Croatia are presented, and special attention is paid to one of the measures, which is the collection of marine waste through diving eco-actions. An analysis of the data collected during such actions in the previous few years in the Republic of Croatia was made, and the projects implemented with the aim of removing and properly disposing of waste from the seabed and raising the awareness of citizens were listed. At the end of the paper, idea of a plan for the implementation of measures is given, which would properly collect, record, and analyze data on marine wste through diving eco-actions
