Delta of Brasov Delta of the Mountains
Eutrophic swamp near Dumbrﾄプiﾅ｣a (6 km away) is a protected area of European interest. The area currently has status as wetland of international importance (Ramsar site, 2006) and protected natural area of Europe, as Natura site 2000 (SPA, 2007)
The Dumbravita fishing complex is located in B창rsei Depression, Transylvania Province, central part of Romania; it is divided in two main sectors: a reservoir lake (120 ha of water surface) and a fish ponds system - the total area counts 414 ha
These are surrounded by crops, meadows, dense emergent vegetation with reed beds, marsh areas and wet grasslands. These habitats support a very rich flora and make an important breeding site for over 30 water bird species and staging area for more than 100 bird species; besides the most abundant species, there are some that are rare for Romania . The most important economic value is fish production, which uses the entire pond system with its changing hydrological regime and high productivity mudflats for aquaculture.
• Other human uses include recreation, agriculture, hay
harvesting, and grazing, the latter of which contribute to the annual regeneration of grasslands and marshes and avoid overgrowing.
• Threats are caused by peat exploitation and especially by
illegal uncontrolled reed burning, which fragments habitats and affects breeding birds, as does premature hay harvesting in the marshes and the wet meadows. Angling, poaching and walking inside the reed beds during breeding season affect the site as well, and intensive fish nourishment at the fish ponds might accelerate eutrophication
• Some of the bird species that are most
interesting today are the Lesser Spotted Eagles, Corncrake, Bittern, Little Bittern, Great White Egret, Purple Heron, Black Stork, Ferruginous Duck, Whiskered Tern, Stonechat and Red-backed Shrike, Lesser Grey Shrike, but the list is much longer.
