Abstract
In the year 2020 habitat mapping surveys has been done by researchers from NIRD GeoEcoMar (Bucharest and Constanța in Romania) in a costal area, Reyna Bay and front of the bay (noted as Reyna Area). The area belongs to Constanța city in Romania. This work included multibeam (bathymetry and backscatter), singlebeam (bathymetry) and sidescan sonar (backscatter) measurements. Direct sampling was done with Van Veen Grabs and by divers. A 1.1 sqkm area was covered by research with a total length of lines of more than 65 km. Romanian coast and shelf are particularly affected by more stress factors, both natural (erosion) and anthropogenic (pollution, fishing, coastal infrastructure) and this is a typical area in which these factors can be seen. This study presents the results of this research.
