Sarichioi could become a tourist resort in the next years.

Here is the piece of news: The Local Council of Tulcea approved a decision that stipulates building a small tourist harbor in Sarichioi. An area of 13.44 hectares went from the administration of RBDD (Danube Delta Reservation of Biosphere) under the administration of the local council Tulcea. The local council Tulcea approved a feasibility paper, with technical and economical details. A total investment plan of 6m. Euro in 2 years is going to contribute to building a harbor capable of hosting 230 ships. According to the first version, the mini-harbor will be able to shelter 148 floating ships and 72 platforms up to 8 meters, as well as 10 boats of 8 to 10 meters.
The money will be given by the Romanian Government according to the program "Sustainable development of the Danube Delta and Black Sea coast"
This mini-harbor will allow small ships to enter Razelm and Portita lakes, as well as highlight Enisala fortress, which will be illuminated in order to emphasize the architecture details.
And here are my concerns: While highlighting the natural beauty of the area and the rich history (Enisala fortress, rebuilt by the Genoese people in the XII-th century) is more than welcomed, I fear this is a start for an eco-disaster. Taking some area from the administration of the biosphere into the administration of local council means practically the start for destroying the natural area under the pressure of the economic factors and local interests. This happened in many other places in Romania, so is not difficult to assume the same will happen also here.
