The present study was elaborated in conformity with MO 19/2010 for the passage of Methodological Guide with regard to the adequate evaluation of potential plans or projects’effects on communitary-interest protected natural areas. The project for carrying out the enclosing works at „Sulina Beach Arrangement” is one for protecting the area already built. Administratively, it is situated within the incorporated area of Sulina town, and geographically, within the Danube Delta, at the south of the Sulina channel’s mouth/discharge into the Black Sea. In this A.E. study, the entire surface of the settlement „Sulina Beach Arrangement” which is aimed to be enclosed and its vecinities is analysed. The cumulated impact of the existent project with the enclosing project which follows to be implemented in the Sulina beach area and which may affect habitats and Natura 2000 sites’ integrity is also analysed. It must be mentioned that numerous studies for the biodiversity component were carried out in the studied area in the last 5 years. The presented data is the study final result and aims at inventorying and assessing the conservation state of the habitats and species in the seahore area. The coast area integrated in the study displays from the Sulina channel’s mouth to Gura Portitei on a length of 80 km and a width of 1000m. In addition, conservation measures are described, which were elaborated in conformity with both the national legislation and by consulting the management plans of certain protected natural areas from outside the country, which contain habitats characteristic to the marine coast and the cordon littoral within their perimetre. The information with concern to the project elaboration was accessed from the documents applied for to Tulcea County Council. In these documents, thre was not found information with regard to the enclosing project’s time period.
In order to elaborate the A.E. study, the following documents were employed: D.D.B.R. managment plan; standard forms Natura 2000 and SPA; relevant information supplied by peers from Bucuresti University and „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University in Iasi; plans, maps, materials dealing with the area’s geology, hydrology and ecology from D.D.N.I. archives; the report with regard to the environmental state within D.D.B.R, as well as the plans concerning the land use. The update and check of the information from the above mentioned sources was carried out by field studies.
The investment project is called Elaboration of works for enclosing “Sulina beach arrangement”, owned by Sc. A.S.P.L. Sulina S.R.L.. Its objective is to develop the beach area’s tourist infrastructure in order to provide services to the target public. The necessity to enclose the forementioned objective is justified by the limitation of unauthorized persons and animal access. The scheduled objective is the enclosure of the constructed premises with stall moduli. This investment project will be approximately 1100 m long and 1.3 m high. The construction works with regard to the project implementation will be manually carried out. The materials of which it will be built on the west, north and east sides will be bordered-net panels fixed/shielded on wooden poles/pylons/pilots directly stayed in the ground, without concrete cribs. On the southern side, the enclosing fence will be manufactured of willow, reed or scrubs characteristic to the area. Its purpose is to ensure the enclosure of the „Sulina beach arrangement”premises built with stall type moduli.
