Buljarica

Buljarica wetland is located between Petrovac and Sutomore along Montenegro's coast. It has the longest beach on the Budva Riviera and contains one of the last ancient Mediterranean oak forests. The area is protected for its natural characteristics and biodiversity. It provides important habitat for many endangered species and is a key location for bird migration. However, there is a risk that the entire ravine could be transformed into a tourism complex that destroys its natural assets.

Buljarica wetland

GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION

Buljarica is a sea ravine located between Petrovac on the northwest and


Sutomore on southeast. In the hinterland is Pastrovacka Gora, dividing the bay from
Lake Skadar, the largest fresh water basin in the Balkans. This is a rural area with
underdeveloped infrastructure and virgin nature. It also has the longest beach on the
Budva Riviera, 2,200m long, behind which lies a diluvial ravine. One of the very last,
genuine ancient Mediterranean oak forests, containing Quercus pubescens and
Fraxinus oxycarpa, is located there. There are several villages and campsites along the
edge of the ravine. Cow and goat-breeding is the main occupation of villagers and
thus they use the dry meadows for grazing. In winter the lakes of Buljarica are used
for hunting, mainly birds.

Buljarica predstavlja morsku uvalu koja se nalazi izmedu Petrovca na sjeve-


rozapadu i Sutomora na jugoistoku. U zaledu se nalazi Patrovacka gora koja odvaja
ovaj zaliv od Skadarskog jezera, najvec’ eg slatkovodnog basena na Balkanu. Ovo je
ruralno podrucje sa jo uvijek nerazvijenom infrastrukturom i netaknutom priro-
dom. Buljarica je ujedno i najdua plaa na Budvanskoj rivijeri, duga oko 2200 m,
iza koje se prua poplavna uvala. U njoj se nalazi jedna od posljednjih izvornih,
ocuvanih i stoljetnih mediteranskih uma hrasta Quercus pubescens i jasena Fraxinus
oxicarpa. Po obodu uvale danas postoji nekoliko sela i zaputenih kampova. Gajenje
krava i koza glavno je zanimanje seljana koji nepoplavljene livade Buljarice koriste za
ispau stoke. Tokom zime jezera Buljarice se koriste za lov, uglavnom na ptice.

Nature protection
Buljarica beach has been protected since 1968 as an area with special natu-
ral characteristics. This status is given to only 4 ha of the beach as a habitat of xeno-
morphic and halophyte vegetation. In 1968, when protected area status was confer-
red, there was no sufficient data on other segments of flora and fauna. In early 2006,
it obtained “Emerald” status under the Bern Convention as a unique, pristine habitat
on the Adriatic coast, rich in biodiversity, wild flora and fauna.

In 2007 it was declared an Important Bird Area (300 ha), primarily as a


breeding, wintering and resting place during the spring migration of birds coming
from Africa via the Adriatic. Buljarica complies with three of the nine criteria of the
Ramsar Convention as it is a unique, rare and representative wetland on the Eastern
coast of the Adriatic and is a habitat for many endangered amphibians, reptiles and
birds. It is also an important location for the migration of birds. Buljarica is one of
the most attractive areas on the Montenegrin Adriatic coastline, and is thus economi-
cally insufficiently utilized. There is a real danger of transforming the whole ravine
into a tourism complex and thus destroying all of its priceless natural assets.

LANDSCAPE VALUE

Unlike anywhere else on the Montenegrin coast, due to its position Buljarica
possesses unique landscape value. With Pastrovacka Gora in the hinterland, from
which most of the Montenegrin coast is visible, and the rocks in the sea, it really
represents “the wild beauty” of Montenegro.

The fact that it is in the heart of the coastal zone near Budva, which sees mil-
lions of overnights a year, but still possesses its virgin outlook, escapes nobody.
However, it could provide an excellent model of smart development for the coast,
with an ideal combination of tourism and nature protection.

AIR, WATER, SOIL, NOISE

Together with Ulcinj Salina, Buljarica is one of the 7windiest locations on


the Montenegrin coast, with a clear sky for a large number of days each year. On ave-
rage, strong winds blow more than 110 days a year.

Stormy wind is less common, 30 days a year, while the number of cloudy
days is the smallest on the Montenegrin coast, only 70 a year. Air and noise pollu-
tion are possible from the cars on the nearby main road connecting the towns along
the coast.

Zasita prirode
Plaa Buljarica zatic’ena je 1968. godine kao predio posebnih prirodnih
odlika. Ovaj status dobija svega 4 ha plae i to kao stanite kseromorfne i vegetacije
zaslanjenih stanita. Tokom dobijanja statusa zatic’ enog podrucja 1968. godine, nije
bilo dovoljno podataka o drugim segmentima flore i faune. Pocetkom 2006. godine
dobija status Emerald stanita Bernske konvencije kao jedinstvena, djevicanska i bio-
diverzitetom bogata uvala na obali Jadrana.

2007. godine je proglaena za podrucje od medunarodnog znacaja za bora-


vak ptica (300 ha), prvenstveno kao gnjezdilite, zimovalite i odmaralite na prolje-
c’ noj seobi ptica koje preko Jadrana dolaze iz Afrike.Buljarica zadovoljava i tri od
devet kriterijuma Ramsarske konvencije kao jedinstvena, rijetka i reprezentativna
mocvara na Istocnoj obali Jadrana, stanite brojnih ugroenih vrsta vodozemaca,
gmizavaca i ptica, te kljucno mjesto u migraciji ptica. Buljarica je jedan od najatrak-
tivnijih prostora na crnogorskom Jadranu, ekonomski nedovoljno iskoric’ en. Realna
je opasnost da se cijeli prostor ove uvale pretvori u turisticki kompleks i time unite
sve njene neprocjenjive prirodne vrijednosti.

PANORAMSKE VRIJEDNOSTI

Na crnogorskoj obali se ne moe nac’ i uvala vec’ ih panoramskih vrijednosti


od Buljarice. Sa Patrovackom gorom u pozadini, sa koje se vidi vec’ ina crnogorske
obale, i hridima u moru, ona zaista predstavlja „divlju ljepotu“ Crne Gore.

cinjenica da se nalazi u srcu obalne zone nadomak Budve, koja godinje


ostvari milione noc’ enja turista i da je i dalje zadrala svoj djevicanski izgled, nikoga
ne ostavlja ravnodunim. Ona moe biti najbolji primjer pametnog razvoja obale,
idealno komponujuc’ i turizam sa zatitom prirode.

VAZDUH, VODA, ZEMLJITE, BUKA

Uz Ulcinjsku solanu na jugoistoku, Buljarica predstavlja jedno od najprov-


jetrenijih priobalnih lokaliteta u Crnoj Gori, sa velikim brojem vedrih dana.

U prosjeku, jaki vjetar duva vie od 110 dana godinje, olujni je rjedi, 30-
tak dana, dok je tmurnih dana najmanje na Crnogorskom primorju, svega 70-tak.
Zagadenje vazduha i buka moguc’ i su od automobila sa oblinjeg magistralnog puta
koji povezuje gradove na obali.
