The ADDPD Galati s Strategy was developed on "bottom-up" approach, identifying the problems, opportunities and appropriate modalities of action. The analysis made by the ADDPD personnel identified opportunities and taking advantage of the favourable geographic location: FLAG area for travel and/or ecotourism, fishing, increased demand for fish products, traditional and/or innovative/sophisticated and less exploited species (crayfish, clams, etc.), development of organic aquaculture development potential investments in processing and aquaculture products etc. The development scenario resulting from the consultation activities undertaken by the FLAG personnel and partners proposes broader action for the development of the local Prut-Danube area from integrated development action to restore competitiveness, environmental and touristic potential up to re-build identity around items of local tradition.

Polluted areas in the region of Atanasovsko Lake

Atanasovsko Lake is a lake located within the borders of Burgas, between the neighborhoods of Izgrev and Sarafovo and west of them. It is part of the Burgas lake complex and borders on the east through Atanasovska “kosa” (which is about 1 km long strip of sand) with the Black Sea. The lake is coastal and offers a great diversity of flora and fauna, some of which are protected by the Biodiversity Act and are globally endangered. Atanasovsko Lake is connected by numerous canals with the Black Sea, through which it is drained. Unfortunately, the beautiful and romantic lake is heavily polluted with household waste, especially in the area of the bird observatory, along the canal, which starts from the area around the Lukoil gas station, to the round crossroad at the beginning of the Izgrev complex. We would like to invite everyone who has the opportunity to participate in the cleaning on August 21, 2020.

Cleaning action of Polluted areas in the region of Atanasovsko Lake

Wastes in the area of the mouth of Ropotam river 2020

Cleaning of the mouth of Ropotam river 2020 Ropotamo is the name of the reserve, which is located about 50 kilometers from the city of Burgas. On the territory of the reserve there are many interesting and unique natural sites - the estuary of the river Ropotamo, the marsh Arkutino, longoz forests, which at this latitude are very rare, various rock phenomena, swamps, marshes and others. The reserve is part of the larger protected area Ramsar site Ropotamo. The rock formations that can be seen in the Ropotamo reserve are mostly coastal - sand dunes, rocky shores, steep, terraced shores. Within the reserve is the Snake Island - a small rocky island in the Black Sea. Different stages of dune development can be observed in the coastal parts of the reserve. The area around the Ropotamo River was declared as a reserve in 1940. The status of the area was changed to a national park in 1962. In the following years the ecological balance within the park was disturbed due to the uncontrolled flow of tourists. Nature is polluted due to increased construction. In this way, Ropotamo has become the most endangered protected area in Bulgaria (according to data from the site of Primorsko municipality). In order to preserve the nature of the reserve from further damage in 1992, the status of Ropotamo was changed to a reserve with a strict regime. District government Burgas with the support of Primorsko municipality and NGOS has launched a summer campaign to clean the wetlands around Burgas and the polluted areas on the southern Black Sea coast. Anyone interested can join on 14.08.2020 in the cleaning of the polluted areas around the mouth of the river Ropotamo, Primorsko municipality.

Campaign for cleaning areas around Lake Vaya and Lake Atanasovsko

Polluted areas in the region of Lake Vaya Lake Vaya (Burgas Lake) is the largest natural lake in Bulgaria, located in the land of the city of Burgas and on the migration route Via Pontica - one of the most important stations for the flight of birds on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. 245 species of birds have been identified in the area of the lake. In the last few years, Lake Burgas has regained its fame as one of the richest sources of fish in Bulgaria. This is largely due to the cleaning of the canal connecting the lake with the sea, which in turn allows the entry of large quantities of sea mullet and other fish, which are a challenge to the fishing skills of local fishermen and a source of livelihood for many of them. Unfortunately, the beautiful and romantic lake is heavily polluted by household waste, wastewater, the use of dangerous fishing methods, forest and field fires. We would like to invite everyone who has the opportunity to participate in the cleaning on July 17, 2020.
