Description of use/activity
The status of coastal and marine waters on the Romanian seaside is influenced by local point sources (human agglomerations and industry) located on the Romanian Black Sea shore (especially in Constanta County). The human agglomerations has been analyzed in the frame of pressure analysis, from the point of view of “the level of collection and treatment of waste water in human agglomerations from costal area – expressed in population equivalent. Related to industrial point sources the indicator taken into account was the discharge volumes of waste water with direct discharge into the sea. All this indicators has been considered relevant in establishing measures for compliance under WWTD 91/271/CE, SEVESO, Directive 2010/75/UE regarding the industrial emissions. The analyze of discharges of organic substances, nutrients and heavy metals from human agglomerations, industrial point pollution sources into coastal waters can be found in the frame of Chapter 3 Activities , anthropogenic pressures and impact analysis. In 2007 in the coastal area were inventoried a total of 15 agglomerations with population equivalent sizes ranging between 2,000 and> 150,000 pe. Classification by size is shown in Figure 4.2.13 from the Report Initial Assessment of marine environment. Referring to industry , at the level of costal area , in 2007 has been identified a number of 5 significant industrial point sources with the following fields of activity: manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, transport and storage of petroleum, manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products production and supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning The industrial economic sector with direct influence on the marine environment is mostly located in Constanta County, ca parte a Regiunii de Dezvoltare Sud Est. According to the statistical data base, registered by National Institute for Statistics the Gross Value Added related to Industry in 2008 was around 1380,5 mil. Euro and in 2009 around 1180 million Euro . In 2010 the GVA was almost similar with 2010.It has to be mention that the agricultural economic sector has no influence on costal waters
Shipping transport in Romania is regulated by Emergency Ordinance 42/1997, by the requirments of Emergency Ordinance 74/2006, Law 55/2002, for approving the Government Ordinance no. 79/2000 regarding the regime of navigation on the Danube - Black Sea Canal and White Gate - Midia - Năvodari, also of the Law 231 of 2004, establishing special terms for international maritime transport activities Statistical data related to sea and coastal freight transport can be consulted in the frame of the National Institute for Statistics, data base – Harbor Freight Transport. The data contained in this report was provided by port authorities, statistically studied for each port and vessel operated in the respective ports. Romanian Border Police provides statistical data on embarkation and disembarkation of passengers per ship inside, or out of the port. The marine harbor freight transport represents the loading and unloading the cargo to / from the ship travel for all or part of the sea. The loaded and uploaded freight related to maritime harbors can be consulted in the frame of the Report ‘The initial assessment of the marine environment” - Chapter 4.2.2.3. Economic activity – marine transport It has to be noticed a slight increasing trend regarding the quantity of loaded and uploaded freight related to Romanian Black Sea maritime harbors (loaded aprx. 7,5% and uploaded aprx 5.7%) In 2010, the quantity of freights related to marine transport in terms of all transport ways represents around 12,5% (icreasing beside of 2009 (around 8.7%). The main transportation form in Romania is represented by the road transport (around 71%). The percentage of marine transport in terms of all transport ways can be consulted in the frame of the Report ‘The initial assessment of the marine environment” - Chapter 4.2.2.3. Economic activity – marine transport – see figure 6,7.Porturile de la Marea Neagră prin care se desfăşoară traficul de mărfuri sunt : Constanţa, Midia, Mangalia, Sulina
The Black Sea seaside tourism represents the most significant mode of tourism at the level of this type of economic activity. The Romanian littoral shore has a length around 70 km, at it’s level being registered a number of 14 touristic resorts. The most important is the Mamaia resort, placed on the north side of the littoral shore. The statistical data base regarding the capacity and touristic activity is based on the statistical research reports conducted by NIS (National Institute of Statistics), supplemented by legal and natural persons who own or manage establishments of tourists 'reception with functions of tourists' accommodation. At the level of touristic agencies the data base is based on the statistical research completed by travel agencies. Detailed reports on tourism activity can be found at the link http://www.insse.ro/cms/rw/pages/turism_rom.ro.do Number of nights spent in tourism accommodation facilities in Constanta county, county holding all accommodation units from the littoral area zone decreased significantly from 2007, hence only at the level of the decreasing trend has been registered from 4,039,479 in 2007 to 2,952, 844 in 2011, about 27%. For other accommodation facilities, the trend is fluctuating, and it records an increase in 2011 compared to 2010 by about 21%, but decreased in 2010 compared to 2009 by approximately 24%. The Report “Initial status of Marine Environment” presents in figure 4.2.9 the evolution of night spends in hotels (2006-2011), and in Figure 10 - Evolution of nights spent in other accommodation (2009-2011)
Related to shellfish catches in specific conditions of Romanian coastal zone, were defined 4 areas for breeding and exploiting marine mollusks approved by Minister Order. 1950/2007/38/2008 and for which is applied technical rules regarding shellfish water quality (approved by Government Decision no. 201/2002). Quantities of shellfish taken are recorded only in 2011, representing about 218 tons
The marine fishing economic activity is complying under the requirements of Governmental Ordinance no. 23/5.03.2008, regarding the fishing activity and aquaculture, but also under the Romanian Operational Program for Fishing (POP), elaborate by the National Agency for Fishing and Aquaculture, according to the Art.17(3) from the European Council Regulation (CE) NR. 1198/2006 from 27 July 2006 regarding the European Fund for Fishing. In Romania, the marine fishing economic activity is practiced along the Romanian coast in marine areas to the 60 m isobath, due to their limited vessel characteristics and autonomy. Trawl fishery is seasonal and is related to the presence of fish in fisheries. The predominant species in the Black Sea are small species: sprat, anchovy, whiting , gudgeon An important marine fishing sea area is the marine area of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, where fishing with trawlers are prohibited. Also, in the coastal zone of the Black Sea, to the 20 m isobath is prohibited to fish with trawls. The only fishing activity allowed is when using fixed equipment and nets. Regarding the marine fish catches it has been noticed a major decreasing of those in the Black Sea. Hence at the level of 2010, it was registered a decreasing with 85 % beside of the marine fish catches registered in 2005. A slight tendency of improvement in marine fish catches was registered in 2011, when the captures was around 338 (am increasing with almost 31% beside of the quantities captured at the level of 2010). Note : please see the Figure 3 from the Chapter ESA of the Report on Marine Strategy Related to shellfish catches in specific conditions Romanian coastal zone were defined 4 areas for breeding and exploiting marine shelfish approved by MO. 1950/2007/38/2008 and applying technical rules on shellfish water quality (approved by Government Decision no. 201/2002. Quantities of shellfish taken are recorded only in 2011, representing about 218 tons
The hydraulic works related to Coastal/beaches defense, the offshore structures for port activities is in different administrations (local councils, municipalities, private companies, Maritime Ports Administration Referring to hydraulic works for coastal/ beaches defense it has been registered a number of 94 hydraulic works (dykes) , placed in Mamaia, Constanta, Eforie, Costinesti, Olimp, Neptun, Jupiter, Cap Aurora, Venus, Saturn, Mangalia and 2 cover embankments (Pescarie, Costinesti). The length of the dykes are between 70 m and 400 m and the distance from the shore is between 50 m and 400 m Referring to the offshore structures for port activities (Constanta, Mangalia, Midia) which are in administration of National Company “Maritime Harbor Administration” the total length of the offshore dykes is around 54,7 km. The costs associated to the maintenance of these dykes are around 146 million Euro/year. Through the Operational Program for Transport is foreseen the investment “Finalizing the Offshore dyke in Constanta Harbor – extension with 1050 m”, with a value of 153 million Euro. The objectives of the project are : improvement of exploitation terms through the reducing energy waves in all harbor area, increasing the safety of the ships, reducing the destructive effects of waves on the facilities from inside harbour
Extraction of crude petroleum and gas from the continental platform of Black Sea is achieved through 4 oil extraction platform , from which the most important is Gloria, owned by PETROM Oil Company. Gloria platform is the only oil platform which operates in Romanian territorial Sea . The drilling activity starts in 1976, at a distance of 72Mn, and depth of 90 m. The quantity of crude petroleum extracted by Gloria Oil Platform registered in 2010 an increase comparing with 2007 (around 40% ). In 2011 it has been registered a decrease with apr. 4% comparing with 2010. Referring to natural gas extracted by Gloria Oil Platform the trend is relatively stable starting with 2007 with small positive or negative fluctuations
The European framework of marine passengers transport is the European Parliament and European Council Directive nr. 42/2009/CE; EC Decision nr 216/2010/UE The area covered by statistical research regarding the marine passengers transport are the harbors administrations and trade societies –containers operators; Ministry of Administration and Internal Affairs ; Border Policy Inspectorate. The present trend in marine passengers transport is relatively fluctuant , hence in 2007 - 12.000 passangers;2008-38.000 passangers;2009 - 13.000 passangers; 2010 - 19.000 passengers
The activity for stock – taking has been achieved through a number of 40 trawlings on an area around 60.190 sq m. Comparing to the total quantity of wastes (531.18 kg), the types of wastes are as follows: plastic – 2.35%. metal – 5.13%, glass – 0.29%. wood – 38.95%, oil – 48.19%, fishing nets – 4.24%. textiles – 0.85%. Plastic wastes comes from ships/cargo transport which are exit from harbors but also for those from commercial routes. Significant are also plastic wastes which are coming from Danube. Metallic and oil wastes comes, in a almost 100% , from ships/cargo transport before entrance or after exits from harbors. The wood wastes are mostly comes from Danube. A significant quantity of toxic wastes comes from residual oil wastes and hard degradable plastics , nearby Constanta and Mangalia Harbor
The International District of Danube river basin is characterized not only by the size and number of states but also by the diversity of landscape and socio-economic differences between the upstream and downstream countries. The economic situation of Danube upstream countries is significant higher than the downstream ones and affects water management related issues, like for example technological development and wastewater treatment standards, but also negative effects on water quality of water bodies due to various pressures and factors. Four significant water management issues has been identified from the point of view of water management: organic pollution; nutrient; hazardous substances and hydromorphological alterations. Related to organic pollution in the DRBD, in general, almost all industrial sectors are producing this. However, the pulp and paper industry is the largest emitter, with significant emission contributions from the chemical, textile and various branches of the food industry. The contribution of organic pollution from agricultural sources is well below the historical estimates of approximately 30% of the overall total emissions. Among agricultural point sources of pollution, the pig and poultry farms are clearly the most relevant point sources of organic pollution. Although many of these facilities have in recent years reduced the numbers of animals they maintain or made other improvements, this remains a pressure Related to the nutrient emissions, the Danube basin showed a similar picture as for organic pollution i.e. the number of water bodies at risk, affected by significant pressures and eutrophication, increased from upstream to downstream countries for the Danube River. N and P emissions cause eutrophication in many DRBD surface waters and contribute to eutrophication in the Black Sea North Western shelf. For the period 1988-2005, the Danube, as one of the major rivers discharging into the Black Sea, was estimated to introduce on average about 35,000 tonnes of P and 400,000 tonnes of inorganic N into the Black Sea each year. The decrease from the 1990s to the present situation is due to the political as well as economic changes in the middle and lower DRB resulting in (i) the closure of nutrient discharging industries, (ii) a significant decrease of the application of mineral fertilisers and (iii) the closure of large animal farms (agricultural point sources). Furthermore, the application of economic mechanisms in water management (e.g. the polluter pays principle also applied in the middle and downstream DRB countries) and the improvement of wastewater treatment (especially in upstream countries) contributed to this decrease. Sources of hazardous substances are: industrial effluents, storm water overflow, pesticides and other chemicals applied in agriculture as well as discharges from mining operations and accidental pollution. Manufacturing industries are responsible for the large emission loads of a number of hazardous substances. Heavy metals and organic micro-pollutants in particular are of concern, in addition to traditional pollutants. Another major source of hazardous substances is pesticides used in agriculture. Information on use within the Danube countries prepared for the DBA38 showed that 29 relevant active ingredients were used in pesticide products.

Related to the future trend , the evolution of industrial activity in Constanta County was analyzed trough the perspective of prognosis of economic indicators related to Development Region South East (which includes Constanta County) , developed by National Commission for Prognosis. This indicates a slight increase starting with 2011, meaning, of course with a small confidence level that the industrial activity in Constanta will increase. This comes to complete the National Strategy for Sustainable Development of Romania Horizons 2013 -2020
According to the transport strategy developed by Ministry Of Infrastructure and transports the maritime transport (quantity of freights ) should l increase For the moment there is no method developed for estimation future trend in marine transport.The National Institute of Statistics exclude research activities of fishing vessels and fish processing, drilling and exploration vessels, tugs and pushers, research vessels and surveillance of dredges and vessels used exclusively for non-commercial purpose . According to the transport strategy developed by Ministry Of Infrastructure and transports the maritime transport (quantity of freights ) should l increase
For the moment there is no concrete figures related to estimation of future trends in littoral tourism, due to many variables of the issue. According to the Sustainable Development Strategy Horizons 2013-2020-2030, the tourism activity at national level will increase based on development , tourism infrastructure, direct or indirect support of touristic, companies, carrying brand tourism campaigns at national and international level , rehabilitation of littoral area
Due to the fact the monitorinf activity of aquaculture stars in 2011 there is no estimation of present and future trends
The future trend of marine fishing policy is in line with the provisions of Fishing Operational Program 2008-2013 and refers mainly to the modernization of the fishing fleet in the Black Sea (ships and boats) and adjust it to a level of durability. The Expected results are : Adjust size and modernization of the fishing fleet; Modernization of small-scale fishing fleet; reducing the operational of fishing fleet
The value associated to the maintenance of hydraulic works for cost/beaches defence is very difficult to evaluate due to different owners of those works. Also offshore structures related to military harbor can not be identified
The future extraction of natural gas and crude petroleum is a company policy which are approved in every year by National Agency for Mineral resources
The future trend of marine passengers transport could not be estimated due to variable options for transport
There is no estimation of future trends related To marine wastes
In order to assess key economic drivers likely to influence pressures and thus water status up to 2015, a Baseline Scenario (BLS) has been developed. In the BLS, trends in water supply and water demand are evaluated. The focus is on changes in general socio-economic variables (e.g. population growth), in economic growth of main sectors and changes in implementation of planned investments linked to existing regulation. Future trend projections up to 2015, for developments of relevant sectors, are considered in the BLS calculation for measures. The scenarios identified by all Danube Countries indicate a small increasing trend of water abstraction as a consequence of increases in water demand at basin wide level in industrial, urban and agricultural sectors
Production value: description
The associated economic value of marine fishery in the Black Sea (production value) has been evaluated taken into account the price per type of marine fish species from the Report on fish prices at European level (European Fish Price Report - Globe Fish - http://www.globefish.org/upl/Publications/files/EPR-04-2010. pdf) and the romanian retail market for certain species (eg mackerel, herring ...). which were not found in the above mentioned report.
The production value was calculated based on "Analysis of Crude Oil Prices from WRTG Economics " The general trend starting with 2006 is a an increasing one.
At the level of all shipyards in Romania, including here shipyards on the inner Danube, the industrial production recorded a slight decline from 2008 (the year with the highest production value of ships), with around 12.3 %. Industrial production values for construction of ships and floating structures recorded by the National Institute of Statistics (CAEN activity 3011) are presented in Figure 4.2.8. , Chapter 4.2 Economic and Social Assessment of Marine Environment from Initial Assessment Report for marine environment (http://www.mmediu.ro/beta/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/2012-08-09_evaluare_impact_planuri_evaluareinitialamediumarin.pdf)
Production value: € millions
The economic value associated to the fish captures (production value) represent around 0,530 mil.euro in 2011 and 0,516 mil euro
2006-92.3 million E ; 2007- 88.6 million Euro; 2008 - 135.6 Million Euro; 2009 - 92.3; 2010 - 141.9 million Euro; 2011 - 159.4 million Euro
At the level of 2006-800, 6 mil E, 2007-1026.6 mil E, 2008-1031.02, 2008 - 873,46 mil Euro, 2010 - 790.86 mil E

For the moment there is no method developed for estimation future trend in marine fishing captures implicitly for estimation the production value, or other economic indicators
The production value of crude petroleum are in directly relation with future extraction which is a oil company policy
the future trend of production value are in direct line with production, (tdw), which could not be estimated due to variable factors regarding the orders/new contracts for repairing/construction og ships
Value added: description
The industrial economic sector with direct influence on the marine environment is mostly located in Constanta County, as part of South East Development Region. According to the statistical data base, registered by National Institute for Statistics the Gross Value Added related to Industry in 2008 was around 1380,5 mil. Euro and in 2009 around 1180 million Euro . In 2010 the GVA was almost similar with 2010
The contribution of ports activity from the Black Sea in the frame of national Gross Value Added could not be assessed due to the lack of available information’s at statistical level on this level of detail. The statistical research from the field of construction ships trough which the information’s related to this activity is assessed are representative only at national level
According to the Ministry of Tourism and Regional Development, in 2009, the direct weight in National Gross Product of the tourism activity was around 2.1%. In nominal figures this represents around 2.490 million Euro. Taken into consideration the total contribution of the tourism activity in the frame of GDP , this was around 5.2% .

elated to the future trend , the evolution of industrial activity in Constanta County was analyzed trough the perspective of prognosis of economic indicators related to Development Region South East (which includes Constanta County) , developed by National Commission for Prognosis. This indicates a slight increase starting with 2011, meaning, of course with a small confidence level that the industrial activity in Constanta will increase. This comes to complete the National Strategy for Sustainable Development of Romania Horizons 2013 -2020
The representative indicator is represented by loading and unloading the cargo to / from the ship travel for all or part of the sea
Taken into account The Development Strategy of Romania – Horizons 2030 , the Strategy of Ministry for Regional Development and Tourism , which envisage investments in new and modernization littoral infrastructure , but also the prognoses of National Commission for Prognoses, which envisage a slight increase in GDP related to services in South East Development Region , a slight increase related to tourism value added is expected. Never the less the National Institute for Statistics (NIS) stipulates that the contribution of the littoral tourism activity in the frame of GVA of national tourism can not be calculated at the level on NIS, due to insufficient available statistical information’s. The statistical researches in the frame of tourism activity , which includes information’s regarding the expenditures of Romanian and foreign tourists necessary for this calculation are representative only at national level.
The future trend related to production for aquaculture could not be estimated due to variable character of this activity

Pressures: description
Romania has traditional and new tourism resorts in the coastal zone. They produced big pressures on coastal and marine areas, as following: Physical and air pollution don mainly in the buildings new areas; High demographical development in the coastal area, mainly during summer season, also domestic pollution, liquids, wastewaters, solid and garbadge, lack of sewedge; organic rests decomposition and bacterial/microbial impact; Different forbidden activities developed in coastal and marine protected areas; Chemical pollution in marine areas (oil and hydrocarbons pollutants), small motor boats and ships transit in the small coastal waters; skyjets and motorboats using combustible directly on the beaches.
Aquaculture activity creates pressures on: water quality, habitat, wild population, biodiversity. Has impact on aquatic environment and organisms, on surface waters, individually or combined with other activities, discharges. Has potentially several adverse effects on wild species, including disease transmission, escape of exotic/alochtone species. Produce nutrient-loaded effluent which can lead to eutrophication of nearby waters. Also may lead to antibiotic resistance of different organisms by prophylactic use of chemicals, including antibiotics which can harm wildlife and the environment.
Fishery activity can produce a number of effects on cetaceans, including changing (decrease or increase) the possibilities of feeding, behavior modification, alteration distribution, migration and reproductive capacity of cetaceans. Pelagic fisheries and coastal cetacean populations may affect the exploitation of fish species that are their source of food. Combined with eutrophication over-fishing has led to a substantial reduction of inventories species (anchovy, mackerel, sprat, and so on). On the other hand, the introduction of Asian mullets Mugil so-iuy, is an example of positive impact on cetaceans, they already including it in their diet
Offshore constructions are very dangerous and harmful to the RBDD environment, to optimize the costs and risks of installing large offshore platforms, different construction strategies especially of oil transportation to inshore areas have been developed. The case of oil platforms are key fixed installations from which extraction/production, after drilling activities are carried out, which required in usage acertain key construction parameters for hazards mitigations.
Industrial platforms for oil extraction are installed on the Romanian EEZ. They produce the following pressures: air pollution by noises of motors functioning, physical pollutants due to sources of noise and vibration drilling from power generators, other equipment and engines on board, groups of activities/tehnological flows dedicated to well digging and equipping, performing tests, utilities which ensure current location, specifical assurance system for utility and location tests relationships. Also they produce biological pollution from domestic discharges and uses of sea waters, for cooling and returned to the environment.The chemical pollution of water is done by accidental damage from improper packaging and/or handling of powders and chemicals and acetylenegenerators, system for recovery and fluid drilling and circulation system, surface/cursory/perfunctory activities, resulting liquid effluents orothers (oil spills, combustible and / or cement) from the platform’slifting system of legs boxes, from operating pressure pipes or from hosesbroken.
In Romanian shipping activities, the possible pressures are: air pollution by noise and physical damages by vibration, biological pollution of water with colibacilli through wastewater (exceeding 250 mpn/100 ml); exotical species carring by balast waters; impact of oil and chemical residues associated with the marine environment fishing, dredging and chemical pollution of water done by planned and uncontrolled discharges of fluids and other materials, in spite with IMO discharge restrictions, concerning different pollutants (oil content, water drainage); oil, hydrocarbons pollution; burning fires; accidental discharges of wastewater, bilge water, sewage, from water production systems; Another source of pollution are the accidents which can cause damages to people and equipment or systems, malfunctions and waste for refueling (bunkering) offshore; damages on platform services vessels.
Solide waste disposal and management have impacts on biodiversity and sanitation of coastal/marine habitats. On any beach the plastic wastes are present, tons of plastic debris (waste that can vary in size from large containers, fishing nets to microscopic plastic pellets or even particles) are discarded every year, polluting low lands by Danube River and Danube Delta coast, thus affecting nesting areas of RBDD.
Increased nutrient discharge (see Report) led to eutrophication due to phytoplankton growth and flowering intensity effects occurring in Cascade: reducing transparency, absence of light (which leads to rapid death of phytoplankton Bentic whose main role is to produce oxygen necessary for organisms, decomposition of dead organisms and oxygen consumption .So the bottom waters become hypoxic or anoxic season leaving without life tons of living plants and benthic animals (ICPDR - ICBS, 1999) making the region north western Black Sea most strongly eutrophic marine area of all basin Mediterranean Sea of Azov Sea Alboran Sea (Zaitsev quoted Mee, 1999) At the beginning 90s, was registered a decreased nutrient loads which resulted in the first signs recovery (decrease of flowering phytoplankton, benthic regime improvement of oxygen, considerable increase in benthic macrofauna (Gomoiu, 1992) ecosystem affected by eutrophication of the Black Sea. Thus, in 2005, the North Western Black Sea seemed to contain an altered powerful but relatively functional ecosystem to 60s. Anthropogenic input of nutrients and organic matter in the marine environment generally leads to increased density of phytoplankton communities. At the same time, there may be subtle changes and species composition adjustment to the new relationship between nitrogen, phosphorus and silicon (ICPDR - ICBS,1999). Eutrophication effects sequence consists of: increasing the intensity of flowering phytoplankton (density and biomass), oxygen consumption breakdown phenomena oxidation of organic matter resulting from flowering, reduced water transparency, impaired marine food chain, fishing mortality and the impact on human health and economic.
