Other Site Characteristics

The persentage for the coniferous forests is for plantations of Austrian pine.

4.2 Quality and importance

Very well developed and preserved swamp forests and marshes in combination with coastal dunes. The forest is frequented by numerous mammals. The Kamchiya is the biggest Bulgarian river directly flown into the Black Sea. It is quite important from faunistical, ecological and conservation points of view.
