Presentation by David Vuescu & Andreea Cârjaliu

The Danube delta hosts over 300 species of birds as well as 45 freshwater fish species in its numerous lakes and marshes, the most important being cormorant, pygmy cormorant, white pelican and Dalmatian pelican.

The marsh vegetation is dominated by reeds which form floating or fixed islands of decaying vegetation. Reeds cover some 1,700 km2 and the floating reed islands (plaur) 1,000 km2 , whereas the total area not inundated is only 148 km2 . The Razelm-Sinoie complex to the south comprises several large lagoons separated from the sea by a sandbar.

There are trees here: willow, popular, alder and oak and also sandy areas covered with feather grass and other steppe species. Forest elements are best observed in Letea Forest where a series of bands occur along dunes up to 250 m long and 10 m wide.
