Maritime Spatial Plan for the Cross-Border Area Mangalia Marine spatial plan for the cross-border area Mangalia Shabla Current situation analysis EUROPEAN COMMISSION Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) Department A - COSME, H2020 SME and EMFF Unit A3 - EMFF Call reference No: MARE/2014/22 Project Full Name: Cross border maritime spatial planning in the Black Sea – Romania and Bulgaria (MARSPLAN – BS) Project No: EASME/EMFF/2014/1.2.1.5/2/SI2.707672 MSP LOT 1 /BLACK SEA/MARSPLAN-BS European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) Marine spatial plan for the cross-border area Mangalia Shabla Volume 1 Current situation analysis - topic paper DELIVRABLE Page 1 Marine spatial plan for the cross-border area Mangalia Shabla Current situation analysis 1. Introduction to specific problems of the area The marine spatial plan for Mangalia-Shabla area was conceived as a pilot project included in MATSPLAN -BS project in order to test the capacities of the two countries to develop and adopt a concrete instrument for the management of the marine area. This plan takes into consideration the existing data describing the processes of the natural marine areas as well as the human activities developed in this area in order to establish balance between human actions and ecosystems subsistence. The plan is meant also to to put into practice the EU Directive for MSP, creating an institutional framework for MSP implementation in Romania and Bulgaria, enhancing the cross-border cooperation and exchange of information between the two countries. 1.1 Plan area delimitation The spatial plan area is located at the border between Romania and Bulgaria, its delimitation took into consideration two types of zones: the territorial waters (the management area) and coastal area and EEZ (the extended analyse area for the study of interactions). The coastal area includes the municipalities Mangalia and Limanu (in Romania) and Shabla (in Bulgaria). The management area is 1,093,389 sqkm, from which the Romanian area is 417,084 sqkm and the Bulgarian part is of 672,93 sqkm. The spatial plan area The management area expands on East -West direction from the shoreline (baseline) to the limit of the territorial waters of the two countries, being delimited at North and South by the extension of the Mangalia and respectively Shabla municipalities’ limits. The rationale for choosing the pilot plan area was its location in the cross-border area, its heterogeneity (the Romanian part is urbanised and more populated and developed; the Bulgarian area is more natural, sparsely populated and developed) which could offer a large variety of challenges for the plan’s strategic decisions. The external context analysis of the plan area will take into consideration the area contained by the boundaries of the NUTS III units, adjacent to the country border and the Economic Exclusive Zone limit, in order to identify sources of influence (e.g. pollution sources, migration of fauna, transport routes, exploration and exploitation areas, etc.). Mangalia and Limanu municipalities are located in the South of Constanta County, adjacent to the border. The municipality of Mangalia is located on a plateau with an approximate elevation of 10 meters from the sea level, which borders the seaside on the East and the Limanu lake South. The Limanu municipality include two settlements, Limanu and 2 Mai; the first located at the lake Limanu shore, the second being situated at the seaside. Page 2 Marine spatial plan for the cross-border area Mangalia Shabla Current situation analysis The municipality of Shabla (LAU1 region) is geographically located at the North Bulgarian Black Sea coast, from cape Sivriburun to the border of Romania. It is a part of Dobrich county (NUTS III region). The total coastal length of the plan area is 54.94 Km, from which the Romanian shore length is 21.2 km and the Bulgarian shoreline length is 33.75 km. The Bulgarian area is still low urbanised and low developed compared to the southern part of the Bulgarian coast. The maritime border of the plan area is the territorial waters limit of the two countries. 1.2 Documents relevant for the marine plan area The elaboration of the marine spatial plan will take in consideration the following international and trans-boundary collaboration documents which have effects on the plan area: - Convention on the Protection of the Black Sea against Pollution, regulating the environmental protection of the Black Sea by its Protocols and being in concordance with other relevant national/international legislation. - The Danube River Protection Convention, signed by Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine, which is an overall legal instrument for cooperation and trans boundary water management in the Danube River Basin. - The Memorandum of Understanding ensures the economic cooperation between all Black Sea countries. - The Black Sea Biodiversity and Landscape Conservation Protocol, the Protocol on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Black Sea from Land-Based Sources and Activities and the Legally Binding Document on Fisheries. - The Strategic Action Plan for the Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation of the Black Sea, adopted in Sofia, in 2009, by the Governments of all Black Sea countries. - The Black Sea Environmental Project (BSEP) and the Black Sea Ecosystem Recovery Project (BSERP) and other interventions supported implementation of the Bucharest Convention and the Strategic Action Plan for the Rehabilitation and Protection of the Black Sea, and other projects affecting the plan area. - The Black Sea Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme (BSIMAP) has been implemented by the Black Sea Commission since 2001. The BSIMAP is addressed to the main trans-boundary environmental problems in the Black Sea region. 1.3 Spatial planning documents and strategies relevant for the area The countries in the Black Sea basin have made progress towards developing more effective ecosystem conservation policies and implementing international commitments, but no marine spatial plan was produced so far. There are a variety of spatial plans and strategies whose provisions are relevant for the marine spatial plan of the cross-border area: - Development Plan of Shabla Municipality for 2014 – 2020 - General Urban Plan Mangalia Municipality 2014 – 2020 - General Urban Plan for Limanu Municipality 2005 - Development Strategy of Dobrich County 2014 – 2020 - Development Plan for Dobrich Municipality 2014-2020 - Project Plan Coast - Coastal Zone and Maritime Spatial Planning 2006-2008 Page 3 Marine spatial plan for the cross-border area Mangalia Shabla Current situation analysis 2. Current situation analysis of the marine processes and activities and the land sea interactions present in the cross-border area Mangalia- Shabla 2.1 Natural environment 2.1.1 Changes in biodiversity and habitats Habitats and ecosystems The habitable marine environment in the Black Sea is mostly on the continental shelf, to a depth of 200 m and is influenced to a large extent, by the abiotic environment and water dynamics. The submarine topography, characterized by different biotopes, ensures the development of flora and fauna closely related to this configuration. Thus, some animals prefer rocky substrates, while others sandy or muddy substrates. The Pontic biotope can be classified as follows: Supralittotal: It consists of shore areas covered or occasionally lashed by waves. The area has an increased humidity, flooding, generally large amounts of organic material brought by waves or of local origin. Mediolittoral: according to soil substrate, it is divided in rocky and sandy or muddy areas and includes the breakwave zone between 0 and 0.5 m deep. In the hard substrate areas it covers a 2-10 m wide strip, depending on the inclination of the rocky platform. Infralittoral: It lies at depths of 0.5-12 m, maximum 18 m. It is the most favourable area to life, where most species of algae are found and the biomass of most multicellular organisms is the richest, as well as different animal species. Circalittoral: It extends from 12 to 18 m depths up to 100 m, rarely 150 m. The substrate is usually muddy and less often sandy. The main biotope of this floor consists of associations of mollusks and worms that constitute the favourite food of many species of fish that come here from the infralittoral area to feed. Periazoic: located between 100 m depth (sometimes 50 m) and 150 m depth (rarely 200 m), it makes the passage between the oxygenated water layer that allows aquatic animal and plant life and the Pontic specific layer of sulphide bacteria, contaminated with hydrogen sulphide. Here are found thanatocoenoes (recently dead animals) or subfossile associations, with low numbers of living organisms. Microbiologically, the area presents a mixture of aerobic bacteria and anaerobes, respectively. Azoic: It starts at 150-200 m and descends to the maximum depth of the Black Sea (2,212 m). It forms a unique biotope, where the only existing life forms are sulphide-reducing bacteria (Microspira, Desulfovibrio). Along the Romanian coast are situated a large variety of marine and coastal habitats, falling in the following categories: infralittoral areas (submerged) with shallow waters; mediolitoral - sandy or rocky shore, cliffs continued by limestone plateaus, sand dunes, marshes and salt meadows (annex 1). Due to their ecological value, a great attention is given to the natural habitats of community interest listed in Annex I of the Habitats Directive: 1. Sandbanks slightly covered by sea water all the time (Natura 2000 Code: 1110) Pal. Class.: 11.12, 11.22, 11.31, 11.33, (Palaearctic class) The habitats are characterized by sandbanks composed of sandy sediments in the form of deposits made up of boulders and cobbles, larger grain sizes and/or smaller grain sizes having tall shapes, oblong, rounded or irregular, permanently submerged and predominantly surrounded by deeper water. The biotopes are associated with sandbanks. This habitat is located on the coast between Vama Veche – Olimp.

The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 2 Abstract This dissertation examines the factors that determine the behaviour of criminal entrepreneurs in legitimate markets. The particular aspect studied is how such entrepreneurs enter a new market when they immigrate into a new country (Chapter 1). The empirical focus of the thesis is the Bulgarian illegal entrepreneurs involved in the sale of stolen cars. More specifically, the dissertation compares their market behaviour in Bulgaria and in Spain between the late 1990s and 2010. The empirical basis for the dissertation is a comprehensive analysis of summaries of 86 Spanish police investigations against organised crime networks, as well as fieldwork consisting of interviews with 79 offenders, law-enforcement officers, entrepreneurs, and car-dealers in Spain and Bulgaria (Chapter 2).

  • THE ESSETERRE CO-IMPACT STORY Melissa Planting
    Rebuilding Bulgaria THE ESSETERRE CO-IMPACT STORY Melissa planting A New and Different Chapter for Bulgaria Bulgaria is a country rich with opportunity, but it has faced challenges in reaching its full potential. Bulgaria is part of the European Union (EU), but has one of the lowest GDP in the EU—with nearly a quarter of its population living at or below the global poverty line—and is experiencing at present the most extreme population decline in the world. Sadly, each year emigration erases dozens of towns from Bulgaria’s map. High death and low birth rates are also significant factors in depopulation, but lack of opportunity is the primary driver for this migration away from the country. As the nation’s men and women search for jobs abroad, severe structural and industrial decay become increasingly common. Experts on distribution of EU funds cite the high concentration of investments and resources in certain regions at the expense of others as a contributing factor to lagging infrastructure and a diminishing population. Before the fall of Communism, Bulgaria was not only produces some of the world’s best Lavender and an active industrial nation, it also had some of the Melissa.

  • 5 Dendrological Diversity in Santa Marina Holiday Village
    Silva Balcanica, 19(1)/2018 DENDROLOGICAL DIVERSITY IN SANTA MARINA HOLIDAY VILLAGE - SOZOPOL AS AN EXAMPLE OF CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE DESIGN TRENDS IN BULGARIA Svetlana Anisimova Faculty of Ecology and Landscape Architecture, University of Forestry – Sofia Abstract The paper presents dendrofloral characteristics of Santa Marina Holiday Village, situated on the Southern Bulgarian Black Sea coast. The systematic structure and species composition of woody ornamentals, the absolute and relative quantitative participation of each species were analyzed. A total number of 227 woody species, 315 species and intraspecific taxa, respectively of 110 genera, belonging to 54 families, were recorded. Furthermore, 44.4% of the families were represented by only one species. The results indicate a significant tree and shrub diversity, competitive with the one displayed in some Bulgarian historical parks famous for their dendrological collections. Some of them have been rarely cultivated in the green spaces in Bulgaria so far. A trend of a large scale use of alien species and cultivars was established. Consequently, the participation of autochthonous species is insignificant (5.9%). A relatively high percentage of coniferous and evergreen woody species provides the constant ornamental effect of the holiday village green spaces. Key words: urban green spaces, alien species, woody ornamentals, landscape planning INTRODUCTION The ornamental tree and shrub vegetation plays a leading role in the landscape design, creating the volume-spatial composition and enhancing environmental aesthetics and expressiveness. All ecosystem services provided by woody species depend on their adaptability to extreme environmental conditions (Chen, Jim 2008). In recent years, the diversity of ornamental tree and shrub species and cultivated varieties has grown considerably (Knapp, 2010; Chalker-Scott 2015; Sjöman et al., 2016.).

  • Two New Species of Tipulidae (Diptera) to the Fauna of Bulgaria
    ZooNotes 90: 1-3 (2016) …90… www.zoonotes.bio.uni-plovdiv.bg ISSN 1313-9916 Newly registered tracks of Raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) indicate the presence of resident population in the region of Bolata dere (NE Bulgaria) NIKOLAY NATCHEV Department of Integrative Zoology, Vienna University, Althanstrasse 14, 1090 Vienna, Austria; Faculty of Natural Science, Shumen University, Universitetska 115, 9700 Shumen, Bulgaria Abstract. The Raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides Gray, 1834) is an invasive species which was first recorded for the Bulgarian fauna in 1968. To date, data concerning the distribution of the species in Bulgaria are rather scarce and often provided by non specialists (mostly local fishermen and hunters). The present note includes information concerning the presence of Raccoon dogs in the region of Bolata dere (NE Bulgaria). Faeces and footprints were found in the springs of 2014 and 2015. Apparently, the predators are resident inhabitants of the site, so that particular population could be used for field surveys on the biology of the Raccoon dogs in Bulgaria. Key words: Bulgarian fauna, zoology, monitoring, Canidae, invasive species, predator Introduction The Raccoon dogs belong to an aberrant branch in the evolution of the canids, which had its phylogenetically split from the other dogs about 10 million years ago, or even earlier (see Wayne 1993). One of the Raccoon dog species - Nyctereutes procyonoides (native to the Far East), was artificially introduced to the western regions of the Soviet Union in the thirtieth year of the nineteenth century (for overview see Koneva & Durnev 2012). According to these authors, the populations of the Raccoon dog had increased dramatically in short period of time.
