The Danube Delta is a form of relief resulting from the deposition of silt and sand, respectively, at the mouth of a river flowing into a lake, the sea or ocean, on a gentle slope, under lack of tides and coastal currents action and the Danube is the second longest of the rivers of Europe (after the Volga), the only European river that flows from west to east. It rises in the Black Forest (Germany).

Delta vegetation is represented mostly by specific vegetation wetlands (reed, rush, sedge, willow blend) and occupies 78% of the total. Meadows covers 6% of the delta, the willow, ash, alder, poplar, growing on river levees being periodically flooded, and water mesh covered by aquatic vegetation and floating, occupying 2% of the delta. There are also forests and fields Letea Caraorman and consist of gray oak, English oak, ash, aspen, elm, creepers.

Delta hosts over 3,400 species of vertebrates and invertebrates, many unique national, European and global.

Birds - monuments of nature includes white monuments (Common and Dalmatian pelicans spoonbills, great egret or white heron, little egret, mute swan, swan singing) and polychrome monuments (stilt, ciocintorul, tadoma-tailed eagle).

FishThe Danube flows arms present are the starlet,

sturgeon, mackerels, herring, carp, catfish, northern pike. Prefer calmer waters, carp, perch, bream, brackish environment is populated with pike perch and mullet and flounder depending on the salinity of the water, sheltering marine sector acipenseridele majority (beluga, sturgeon) and clupeidele (Danube mackerel).

MammalsThe number and variety are assured of higher areas

generally bypassed by water. Meet otter, mink, muskrat (precious furs), hare, wild boar, fox, wolf, polecat, wild cat.

Sands shelter tortoises, vipers, snakes colonies. Animals in the pictures are: Dalmatian Pelican

(Pelecanus crispus), sturgeon (Acipenser güldenstaedti), otter (Lutra lutra).

Delta population’s was always rare ,semi-aquatic environment not allowing significant densities.

In summer the population triples influx of tourists. Delta has always been a refuge for medium original Greek, Romanian later (dicienii, name that comes perhaps from Vicina), then lipoveni. These populations were mixed, as illustrated vocabulary and language spoken in the delta, particularly fishery terms.

A few pictures of the beautiful Delta

The most important lakes are found in the delta area between Chile and Razelm arm. They are: Tatanir, Storm, Mattithiah Merhei, Babina, Three Iezere and Bogdaproste in Ostrovul Letea Obretin cut Sulina Channel, Gorgova, Isacova, Red, Light Puiu and the islet of St. George and the islet Dranov lake of the same name. Their surface does not depend only partly Danube water level variation.

Marshes are areas permanently or almost permanently covered with water, but it is not deep enough, so are full of reeds and marsh vegetation.
