In order to obtain data and information regarding the status of the cetacean
populations from the Romanian coast of the Black Sea, a monitoring plan was
drawn-up. For each type of observation, the monitoring was detailed and includes
both a spatial distribution of the points and routes of observation and a temporal
distribution (periodicity, time line).
The actions provided for in the monitoring plan are:
– Identification of observation sectors and possible observers and collaborators;
– Distribution of recording sheets to observers and collaborators from fishing
points, Coast Guard, Administration of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve
etc.;
– Bimonthly surveys along the coastline to observe cetaceans close to the shore;
