Abstract
Coastal ecosystems of Croatia have recently become highly threatened because of the sudden increase in tourism, building by the shore and other anthropogenic activities. Based on the phytosociological research so far, 20 plant communities of halophilous vegetation have been established, sorted into 10 classes. Presented in this paper, for the first time, are 129 taxa of vascular flora typical of the coastal belt. To each species are assigned: conservation status, endemic status, affinity to habitat type, plant community preference and site frequency. Because of the karstic geological substrate, the coastal region of the eastern Adriatic consists predominantly of maritime rocks. Among the most endangered habitat types are sandy shores, maritime shingle and saltmarshes.
