| Description: | Flowing into the Black Sea the waters of the Danube shape the largest and best preserved of Europe's deltas. In its abundant lakes and marshes the Danube delta is home to over 300 species of birds as well as 45 freshwater fish species. --WHMNet paraphrase from the description at WHC Site, where additional information is available. | |
| The Danube Delta (Delta Dunării in Romanian, Дельта Дуная in Russian, Дельта Дунаю in Ukrainian), split between Tulcea County of Romania and Odessa Oblast of Ukraine, is the largest and best preserved of European deltas, with an area of 3446 km², after the Volga Delta. The delta is located around the area where the Danube River flows into the Black Sea. --Wikipedia. Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License. | ||
