Dunes on the most extensive strand plains of the delta (Letea and Caraorman strand plains) stand higher (12.4 m and 7 m respectively). The largest lakes are lakes Dranov (21.7 km 2), Roșu (14.5 km 2) and Gorgova (13.8 km 2). Danube Delta – Dalmatian pelican and great cormorant.
One of the least populated areas in Europe, the Danube Delta offers a unique opportunity to restore a whole spectrum of biodiverse habitats – from open estuarine systems, naturally grazed grassland and vast reed beds through to freshwater marshes, coastal lagoons, shallow lakes, riverine forests and steppes.
The Danube Delta is a dynamic, relatively wild ecosystem with a rich diversity of wetland habitats, as well as numerous lakes, ponds and marshes, which attract over 300 species of birds and 45 species of freshwater fish.
The waters of the Danube as they enter the Black Sea, form the second largest and the best preserved of European deltas at a meeting point of the Palaearctic and Mediterranean biogeographic zones. It is a dynamic relatively wild ecosystem with a rich diversity of wetland habitats, numerous lakes, ponds and marshes which attract over 300 species ...
The delta has three main ecological zones: a fluvial zone in the upper part of the delta, with sandy levees and small densely vegetated lakes; a transition zone with less sedimentation and larger lakes; and a marine zone with large brackish lagoons and sand-dune barrier beach complexes.
The Danube Delta is one of the largest wetlands of the world – a unique habitat of canals, reed beds, lakes and ponds. It is rich in biodiversity and is an important breeding site for several rare and threatened waterbirds, including the dalmatian pelican, great white pelican, white-tailed and greater spotted eagle and pygmy cormorant.
Before reaching Black Sea, the Danube river forms a delta covering a surface of 5,165 km² shared between Romania (86%) and Ukraine (14%). The Danube Delta is the second largest in Europe, after that of the Volga River.
