info about this area:
It is Important Bird Area - IBA (http://datazone.birdlife.org/site/facts ... ba-romania) and Ramsar Site (https://rsis.ramsar.org/ris/2116): The site is part of the Danube meadow and is situated in an important migration corridor, providing breeding, resting and feeding shelter for many bird species. The landscape is characterized by lakes between sand dunes, marshes, shrub wetlands, fishponds, islands, canals and drainage channels all very rich in biodiversity. Belong to Natura 2000 sites (https://eunis.eea.europa.eu/sites/ROSPA0040)

You can see on this map the whole area and how the Great Brăila Island changed - https://rsis.ramsar.org/RISapp/files/36 ... 116map.pdf.
(There was a series of swamps – Brăila Pond/Balta Brăilei, until the Communist regime drained them and built dams and transformed it to an agricultural area. - wiki)
