Venice needs protecting. The city not only possesses some of the finest art and architecture in the world but is also surrounded by a highly sensitive ecosystem in the form of the Venetian lagoon. The co-existence of many different industries in such a sensitive environment provides one of the greatest challenges ever encountered in coastal zone management.

Despite ever-growing legislation orientated towards safeguarding Venice and it's lagoon, the function of the city as a commercial port for both passengers and cargo plays a vitally important role for the local economy. In order to ensure continuous growth and sustainable development, the port's authorities' directives and regulations are both extensive and well enforced.
