The Romanian Black Sea coast is the area most subject to freshwater flows, with the river loads of the Danube (Danube delta) contributing significantly to the degradation of the coastal ecosystem.
Although the Dilderesi river and the eastern canal are the main freshwater inputs to the bay, they both carry polluted water from surrounding industries, settlements and agricultural areas.

The presence of industrial and port activities, as well as increasing human pressures and intensive agriculture in the watershed, have highlighted the problem of eutrophication and pollution of water and sediments.
Numerous activities can cause unsustainable forcing in this site, including urbanization and industrial waste, intensive aquaculture and agriculture, and unresolved conflicts of use.

Most activities are potentially responsible for environmental pressure. The project involves the implementation of an initial integrated management plan (SMVM).

How to achieve truly sustainable development for the region: striking a balance between regional economic development, social well-being and the restoration of ecological values.
Consequences for fishing and aquaculture of increased recreational boating activity. The role of marine protected areas in improving fishing and conservation. The consequences for the ecosystem of reducing wastewater inputs.
There are cod fisheries in the fjord, and the shallow areas where eelgrass grows are important nursery grounds . In the Kranfjorden, chemical pollution of the sediment originates from the former wood-processing industry.
A policy of increasing production through mussel farming has been implemented. A new land use policy is currently being proposed to redistribute land use according to watershed characteristics and the risks of runoff and nutrient leakage.
The estuary is strongly impacted by an intensive blue mussel commercial fishery causing habitat changes and heavy eutrophication resulting in frequent oxygen depletion events. The fjord is used for ship transport from the North Sea to the Kattegat and viceversa and water-related recreational activity.
Human activities include tourism, agriculture, fishing and shipping. Impacts include eutrophication, nutrient loading, biochemical pollution, habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity.

Scenarios are a proven tool and one that produces results. The method is simple in that it invites the ‘audience’ to react to a plausible set of future events.

The Resources or Ecosystem Services/Uses/Governance (RUG) view of the system is an operational approach, based on system thinking, social-ecological systems, stemming from different operational management approaches
The DPSIR framework has been adopted by the European Environment Agency. It is a general framework for organising information about state of the environment.
Major ecological concerns include the impact of intensive farming practices on all ecosystem functions: inputs of nitrogen and pesticides into ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, loss of species beneficial to agriculture.

Brainstorming is a creative technique based on the production of ideas by a group of people. It is a good method for working closely with stakeholders and finding the most original ideas in the shortest period of time.
Once the need for a strategy has emerged on a territory in answer to an environmental issue, the first step is to identify the project core team that will lead the process.
