The protection of the marine environment is achieved on the basis of the Strategy for the Protection of the Marine Environment, which shall be adopted by the Government of Montenegro for a period of at least ten years, at the proposal of the state administration body responsible for environmental protection. The strategy must be based on an ecosystem approach in human management activities, as well as on the principles of integrated coastal zone management, taking into account transboundary impacts on the quality of the marine environment of other countries in the marine region, i.e. marine subregion.
