The aim of the project is the assessment of present ecological statement and the pollution sources identifying. The data set represents the logistic, scientific and practical support to find the best ways and possibilities for ecological recovery to include the area in the specifical regime of the integrated coastal management at the Romanian Black sea littoral, according with present European legislation harmonized to the national conditions. In the aim: to elaborate and implement the Management Plan for Sinoe lakes as part of Integrated Coastal Zone Management, to harmonize the European Directives for coastal waters to the national legislation.
