Abstract

The paper describes the EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR) focusing on its main characteristics (problems, challenges, development potential).The Region is described in respect to its location, coastline, main rivers, islands, flora, fauna and biggest cities and ports. The second part deals about the development potential (marine renewable energy, ex.) and the challenges of the Adriatic and Ionian Seas basins, such as overfishing, water pollution, as well as the issues of refugees. The third part presents the EUSAIR and its four pillars (Blue Growth, Connecting the Region, Environmental Quality, and Sustainable Tourism). The last part describes the maritime clusters in the Adriatic and Ionian Seas and how its features will predictably adapt to the EUSAIR guidelines.
