Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve at Danube River mouth, Romania and Ukraine.
The reserve spans 5,800 square kilometers of channels, lakes, and marshes where the Danube River meets the Black Sea.
The delta formation began around 4000 BC when rising sea levels created a sandy barrier at the Danube bay entrance.
Local communities of Romanians, Ukrainians, and Lipovan Russians maintain traditional fishing methods and organize regional fish-based food festivals.
Visitors access the reserve through the Romanian city of Tulcea, where boat tours and guided excursions start throughout the year.
The reserve contains over 300 bird species and 45 freshwater fish species within its network of waterways and reed beds.
