The Management Plan represents a joint strategic document for management of the Natura 2000 site HR4000030 Novigrad and Karin Sea, important for species and habitat types (POVS) and the Zrmanja Canyon Significant landscape, which overlap exactly along the Zrmanja watercourse from the river mouth to Obrovac city. Development of the Plan was a participatory process meaning that the stakeholder participation was actively encouraged and five workshops were held with key stakeholders. As a result, a final draft of the Management Plan was created, with separately proposed management goals and actions for the Natura 2000 site Novigrad and Karin Sea and for the Zrmanja Canyon Significant Landscape.
