For the Nature Coalition Information Newsletter We start off with some current pre-election information: Hello friends! 10 POINTS FOR ECOLOGICAL POLICY Happy blue summer and wishes for a beneficial and sunny June! After one-month work experts from the non-governmental or- ganizations in the Coalition made 10 points, which would guar- antee the protection of natural resources in the country and its sustainable development. The ten points are sent to all political organizations, who are nominated for the next elections. Each FOR THE NATURE COALITION developed European country has ecological policy – something INFORMATION NEWSLETTER that not only doesn't exist in Bulgaria, but at this stage is in- MAY 2009 comprehensible for the mind of the Bulgarian hereditary politi- cian. We hope these 10 points will stir up a little the political apathy in the country. You can see them here: http:// forthenature.org/documents/568/. Our idea and strategy for ac- tion is after sending the points to all candidate rulers to gather them on an open discussion on the identified problems and to trace what engagements will be taken by them. For detailed in- formation and results please visit http://forthenature.org, be- cause we won't allow political violations and empty pre-election promises. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATION “FOR THE EARTH” (ZA ZEMIATA) ASKS THE CANDIDATES FOR MEPs We have also made a little experiment on the competence of Bulgarian politicians on globally significant problems. Until that This project is supported by a grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway moment only 9 from 215 candidates for the European Parlia- through the EEA Financial Mechanism. ment have found time to answer to a short questionnaire con- cerning some of the main challenges lying before the European Parliament during its next mandate – energy policy, climate, na- ture preservation, sustainable development and international trade. The consultation is made by Ecological Association Za Zemiata and is coordinated with the Coalition “For The Nature”. Details you can see here: http://www.bluelink.net/index.shtml? x=41291. After this pre-election and political information, which may not be very pleasant, but is quite necessary, we continue with more pleasant and interesting doings during this past month. EDUCATIONAL CAMP KARTALI 2009 We started May with the extremely interesting and funny camp Kartali 2009. From 1 to 6 May in the East Rhodopes region the Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation organized a student camp for the fourth year in a row. Although it is aimed at students who study ecology, biology, environmental preservation and other similar specialities, with every year the interest in it is growing. This year the number of dentists, lawyers, accountants and many others, exceeded the number of “specialists”. During the camp the participants made observations and ground investigations of many interesting and unique species. More about the camp fun on http://forthenature.org/news/740/, http://forthenature.org/ gallery/150/, http://forthenature.org/gallery/151/. FESTIVAL OF PERIWINKLE IN STRANDZHA Another great feast with the participation of the Coalition during this month was the festival of periwinkle in Nature park Strandzha on 16-17 May. The Strandzha periwinkle is the symbol of the festival and Nature park Strandzha. It is an extremely beautiful plant that blossoms in the beginning of May and can be found only in Strandzha and Kavkaz. Full report of the event: http://forthenature.org/news/759/. Talking about Strandzha, we are still waiting for the Regional Di- rectorate of Construction Control to make its decision for putting Photos: Elitsa Stoyanova, Nikolay Niko- down the illegal complex Golden Pearl near Varvara. The volun- lov, Diana Pavlova, Boris Mihaylov teers for the demolition are here, now we need only the institu- tions to start doing their job. In a good spring-summer tradition May was full with clean-up ac- hours the volunteers gathered 500 kg garbage, over 600 car- tions – over 20 initiatives took place on different places in the tridge-cases from gun weapon. Except for the cleaning of the country, organized by active nature preservation organizations sand beach, the team of Green Balkans made a training on rec- and citizens.

  • Projects Without Project Ecologies: Experiments in Regional Governance from the Netherlands to Bulgaria and Back
    Projects without Project Ecologies: Experiments in Regional Governance from the Netherlands to Bulgaria and Back Elena Boyanova Krumova Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Elena Krumova All rights reserved ABSTRACT Projects without Project Ecologies: Experiments in Regional Governance from the Netherlands to Bulgaria and Back Elena Boyanova Krumova This dissertation investigates the efforts of a temporary organization, or a project, to assemble a set of diverse stakeholders to deliberate and chart a territorial plan for the Black Sea coastal region in Bulgaria. The project lasted two years and tried to apply the integrated method of regional planning developed in the area around the port of Rotterdam. It was led by a Dutch consultant and a team of Dutch and Bulgarian environmental experts. The main question the dissertation addresses is how a temporary organization operates in an environment that provides little support for its actions. All new organizations, but temporary ones in particular, have a high risk of failure due to limited time to set roles for their members, establish trust among them, and build a common identity. Temporary organizations have been shown to rely on role structures, identities, and sources of trust outside of the organization itself. Project ecologies comprised of personal and organizational ties built around industries and geographical areas facilitate their work. Usually the existence of such ecologies is assumed in research on organizations. There are few studies addressing the question how such ecologies might come into being or how an organization that lacks the support of ecologies might try to survive.

  • Species Composition of the Free Living Multicellular Invertebrate Animals
    Historia naturalis bulgarica, 21: 49-168, 2015 Species composition of the free living multicellular invertebrate animals (Metazoa: Invertebrata) from the Bulgarian sector of the Black Sea and the coastal brackish basins Zdravko Hubenov Abstract: A total of 19 types, 39 classes, 123 orders, 470 families and 1537 species are known from the Bulgarian Black Sea. They include 1054 species (68.6%) of marine and marine-brackish forms and 508 species (33.0%) of freshwater-brackish, freshwater and terrestrial forms, connected with water. Five types (Nematoda, Rotifera, Annelida, Arthropoda and Mollusca) have a high species richness (over 100 species). Of these, the richest in species are Arthropoda (802 species – 52.2%), Annelida (173 species – 11.2%) and Mollusca (152 species – 9.9%). The remaining 14 types include from 1 to 38 species. There are some well-studied regions (over 200 species recorded): first, the vicinity of Varna (601 spe- cies), where investigations continue for more than 100 years. The aquatory of the towns Nesebar, Pomorie, Burgas and Sozopol (220 to 274 species) and the region of Cape Kaliakra (230 species) are well-studied. Of the coastal basins most studied are the lakes Durankulak, Ezerets-Shabla, Beloslav, Varna, Pomorie, Atanasovsko, Burgas, Mandra and the firth of Ropotamo River (up to 100 species known). The vertical distribution has been analyzed for 800 species (75.9%) – marine and marine-brackish forms. The great number of species is found from 0 to 25 m on sand (396 species) and rocky (257 species) bottom. The groups of stenohypo- (52 species – 6.5%), stenoepi- (465 species – 58.1%), meso- (115 species – 14.4%) and eurybathic forms (168 species – 21.0%) are represented.

  • Bourgas District-Pomorie from Tourism Perspective
    BULGARIA- SOUTH -EASTERN REGION- BOURGAS DISTRICT-POMORIE FROM TOURISM PERSPECTIVE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION, BORDERS, SEA PORTS On south the South-Eastern Region borders on the Republic of Turkey by three Cross Border Checking Points: Burgas, Tzarevo and Malko Tarnovo. On east the region is wide open to the Black sea through the 8 ports - Burgas, Ahtopol, Tzarevo, Sozopol, Pomorie, Nesebar, Rosenetz and Ribno Port, BUT two major ports on the Black Sea is Varna and Burgas. Both act as East-West transport corridor gateways of Bulgaria. Port facilities are generally adequate for bulk commodities, but lack facilities for special handling. Rehabilitation of both ports is planned. Bourgas is the second largest port in Bulgaria, and is in close proximity to Serbia, FYROM (Former Yugoslavia Republic of Macedonia), Greece and Turkey. The Bulgarian railways network and the Bulgarian national road system link Bourgas with major industrial inland points of the Balkans. Bourgas offers a large port facility, which can accommodate various ships and is close to a modern commercial airport. The Army has an agreement with the Bulgarian military to use it’s recreation facility located about 20 kilometers from the port, which they use to house task force personnel. Using this port provides the Commander-in-Chief, U.S. European Command, with another choice by providing another access point into the Balkans. Previously, KFOR used two ports for cargo movement supporting its troops in the U.S.-controlled sector of Kosovo—Thessaloniki, Greece and Bremerhaven, Germany. In port of Nessabar yearly are coming in big cruise ships, they make approximately 50 stops in this port per year.
