Neretva Delta is the river delta of the Neretva, a river that flows through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia and empties in the Adriatic Sea. The delta is a unique landscape in southern Croatia, [2] and a wetland that is listed under the Ramsar Convention as internationally important, as the wetland extends into the Hutovo Blato in Herzegovina. [3]
The total alluvial area of the delta is estimated at around 19,000 ha (73 sq mi), [4] while today the delta takes up roughly 11,490 ha (44.4 sq mi). [5]
A total of 1,620 ha (6.3 sq mi) of the delta are designated protected areas: [6] [7]
- ornithological reserves: Prud, Orepak, Podgredom
- ornithological and ichthyological reserve at the river mouth
- protected landscape: lake Modro oko
An additional 1200 ha of nature in the delta is not protected. [6] In 2003, the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning organized a public discussion about the proposal to make the delta a nature park. [8] In 2007, the experts from the State Institute for Nature Protection made another formal proposal for the Neretva Delta to become a nature park. [7] [9] A public discussion process was started but quickly terminated by the Ministry of Culture, allegedly because of protests from the local government. [10]
