Neretva Delta is the river delta of the Neretva, a river that flows through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia and empties in the Adriatic Sea.
The delta is a unique landscape in southern Croatia,[2] and a wetland that is listed under the Ramsar Convention as internationally important, as the wetland extends into the Hutovo Blato in Herzegovina.
[3] The total alluvial area of the delta is estimated at around 19,000 ha (73 sq mi),[4] while today the delta takes up roughly 11,490 ha (44.4 sq mi).
[6] In 2003, the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning organized a public discussion about the proposal to make the delta a nature park.
[7][9] A public discussion process was started but quickly terminated by the Ministry of Culture, allegedly because of protests from the local government.
