In Mamaia resort and north of Mamaia, Cenchrus longispinus is abundant on the
sand dunes (Fig. 22.4), in the ruderal areas of the beaches, around and on the
terraces of the beach bars (Fig. 22.5), along the access zones to the beach
(Fig. 22.6), near some camping sites or in the green spaces from the proximity of
beaches (Fig.22.7). Longspine sandbur usually causes inconvenience to tourists due
to its spiny burs which can injure people’s hands and feet, and the mouth of pets in
infested areas of the beaches.
