Abstract
This Pilot Site is one of the seven selected as Case Studies in the BRIDGE-BS Project. Western Black Sea (Danube Delta Region). The main characteristic is the Danube’s influence on the ecosystem components, functioning and services provided. The influence of the Danube River (the 2nd largest river in Europe, crossing 10 countries, 203 km 3 /year) is determinant for nutrients, organic matter, contaminants, litter and sediment transport to the sea. The Danube plume, resulting mainly f rom the runoff of the Chilia branch strongly influence the hydrochemical structure of the water column and biological productivity. City of Constanza will constitute the community side of this Pilot site. Key services including carbon sequestration (RMS) and water quality (RMS-CS). Euthropication, overfishing and overfishing are major stressors. Commercial fishing, tourism and offshore abiotic resource exploitation are dominant sectors in this region. Tourism (linked to water quality) is the focus sector.
