Prochaotic tourism development pressure on coastal habitats – adequate evaluation case study in Sulina, România
Journal Title: Scientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute - Year 2015, Vol 21, Issue
Abstract
On the coastal areas, the pressure of touristic development upon natural areas is increasing and interfering with main purposes of Natura 2000 sites designation. Therefore the habitats tendency, adequate for species development, is in regression as far as areas size and homogeneity are concerned. In this respect, a case study is presented for the Black Sea’s north-western littoral, in Sulina locality, Romania. The present paper was elaborated in conformity with Ministry Order 19/2010 for the Methodological Guide with regard to the adequate evaluation (A.E.) of the effect of potential plans or projects on protected natural areas of community importance. The case study is an investment project called “Sulina beach arrangement”. Its objective was to develop a plot for the beach area’s tourist infrastructure in order to provide services to the public. The cumulative impact of the existing project may affect the coastal habitats (1210, 1310, 1410, 2110 and 2160) and Natura 2000 site integrity (ROSCI0065 Danube Delta). Regarding these habitats types, conservation value, criterion of representativeness and functions in concern with possibilities for restoration are analyzed. At present, the studied emplacement is mainly affected by the anthropic interventions, having the aspect of a degraded natural area. In addition, conservation measures are described, which were elaborated in accordance with both the national legislation and by consulting the management plans of certain protected natural areas from abroad, which contain habitats characteristic to the marine coast and sandpits within their perimeter.
