The main industries on the islands are agriculture (primarily viticulture and olive growing), fishing and tourism. The local economy is relatively underdeveloped, so the Croatian government provides various kinds of support and protection through its "Zakon o otocima" (English: "Law about islands") to stimulate the economy of the islands, including charging no tolls on bridges, and providing cheaper or free ferry tickets for islanders.
