Danube Delta
ROMANIA
The Danube Delta is the second largest delta in Europe, after the Volga Delta, and the best preserved on the continent. The greater part of the Danube Delta lies in Romania (Tulcea county), while its northern part, on the left bank of the Chilia arm, is situated in Ukraine (Odessa Oblast). The approximate surface is 4,152 square km, of which 3,446 square km are in Romania. The Danube Delta is a low alluvial plain, mostly covered by wetlands and water. It consists of an intricate pattern of marshes, channels, streamlets and lakes. Dunes on the most extensive strandplains of the delta (Letea and Caraorman strandplains) stand as high as 12.4 m. Situated on major migratory routes, and providing adequate conditions for nesting and hatching, the Danube Delta is a magnet for birds from six major eco-regions of the world, including Mongolia, the Arctic and Siberia.
