Monitoring program of the ecosystem status of the coastal sea was implemented in Montenegro for the first time in 2008. In accordance with obligations from the Barcelona Convention and implementation of the Medpol monitoring, in 2009, the Program of Monitoring of the State of the Coastal Sea Ecosystem was implemented as a part of the National Environmental Monitoring of Montenegro. Monitoring program of the ecosystem status of the coastal sea is based on the assessment of the marine biodiversity status, starting from the analysis of biological and chemical pollution indicators. The Program programmatically and methodologically complies with the requirements of national legislation, the requirements of relevant EU directives, the Guide of the European Agency for the Environment (EEA) on the transition, coastal waters and the sea (Eurowaternet Technical guidelines), and following instruction for Reporting (WISE-SoE Reporting: Transitional, Coastal and Marine Waters) as well as requirements of the MEDPOL program.
