Shore aspect

In the Delta, many silt carried by the Danube with the Black Sea that tides are very weak, leading to the formation of deltas at the mouths of side and arm Chiliei St. George, or silt bar next to the Sulina branch, which always impede navigation.

Relief characteristic in this area are sea-river levees (cross), which have a mixed waters (river and sea), larger built by ancient shore lines that create coordinated coastal marine currents, have them sand dunes mobility due to the sand surface under wind action, the levees of the river-maritime coast stands: Letea, located between Chilia and Sulina arm has a triangular shape pointing north, coast surface is irregular due to sand dunes which sometimes reach heights of 12 m, island Saraturile lies north of St. George's arm.
The right arm is Island Sacalin, which is one of the few islands that accompany the Black Sea.
South of the Delta, toward island Razim is perishable.

In southern Delta, to Cape Midia, near shore runs consisting of lagoons Razim lagoon complex, Zmeica, Sinoe and Golovita are old bays of the sea, then separate it by cords sand and sea estuaries: Babadag, Tasaul. This often occurs coastal belts and banks. Lagoons longer communicate with the sea by mouth port and Periboina, so these lagoons are brackish waters. Towards Razim, North Dobrogea Massif continue with porches and porch Agighiol Hamangia.

Between Delta and Cape Midia coast is low and sandy. Between Cape Midia and Vama Veche shore is high, abropt sea, forming cliff. In AME portions appear beaches, which favored the development of important tourist resorts and spas. Marine estuaries relief emerges Tasaul, Techirghiol, Mangalia, Eforie Nord, Agigea, Tuzla, tanneries, Tatlageac and Siutghiol lagoon with fresh water, because there is great communication interrupted.

Of winds, the prevailing north-east, adding that local winds, sea breezes. Local circulation of air masses causes the warm period moderating temperature and increasing humidity on a stretch of 25-30 km from the shore.

The number is sunny days per year 130-170  (the highest in the country).

Duration of sunshine hours per year 2300-2400 totals, made significant potential of solar energy.

Waters

Stagnant waters are represented by lagoons (Razim), as well as by sea estuaries (Tasaul freshwater Techirghiol and Agigea with salt water and curative mud, Mangalia with sulfurous waters, Tuzla, tanneries, Tatlageac, etc.).

Groundwater is located in at great depths.

Vegetation

In the Delta, lakes and streams grow plants with floating leaves, plants and fragments floating reed islet (braids of roots and stems of reeds), lilies, sedge, reed. The levees are woods consist of white poplar, gray poplar, aspen, English oak, gray oak, downy oak, alder. In forests on the top Letea is well developed shrub layer (hawthorn, blackthorn, Sanger, Macies, etc..) Which is complemented by a rich flora climbing: wild vine, bindweed climbing etc. On coastal sands coastal vegetation is represented, with grasses and salting through bushes.

Fauna

Specific steppe are rodents: Steppe mice, ground squirrels, hamsters and of birds: great bustard, quail, partridge, like seagulls.

Aquatic fauna of the Black Sea is varied as represented by mussels, oysters, shrimp, crabs, sponges, jellyfish, dolphins notice of mammals. Of fish, representative are: blue mackerel, turbot, catfish, rays, seahorses, anchovies, sturgeon (starlet, beluga sturgeon) and sharks.
