| Gravel/1000 mc | 10000 |

Estimated profit calculation derived from tourism:
12.000.000 EUR medium income/season, meaning 18.750 EUR medium income/accommodation
(640 accommodations x 6 months hot season x 30 days x 70% occupancy x 100/200 EUR total services = 8.064.000 / 16.128.000 EUR)
– 2.542.800 EUR (total initial costs)
= approx. 6.000.000/12.000.000 EUR estimated tourism profit from 640 accommodations / 6 months warm season.

7.2 Aquaculture
| Expenses | |
| Sum | Activity |
| – 160.000 euro average cost | Populate with spawn (1.600.000 fish spawn x 0,05kg x 2 euro/kg) |
| – 50.000 euro | Salary expenses |
| – 100.000 euro estimated cost | Feed the fish |
| – 310.000 euro | TOTAL |
| Expenses / EUR | Revenue / EUR | Profit / EUR |
| 310000 | 4.000.000 | 3.690.000 |
Other aquaculture activities:
– edible clam species
– medicinal leeches
– ducks and geese
– edible frog species
– crab species
– developing an integrated livestock sector
– horticulture
We don’t have the necessary information for these activities, but at a surface of 736 hectares we estimate a profit of about 500.000-1.000.000 EUR/activity, resulting a total profit of 3.500.000-7.000.000 EUR.
The combined fish farming and aquaculture annual potential is about 4,500,000 EUR.
Estimated profit calculation derived from aquaculture:
+ 4,000,000 EUR (selling the annual fish production)
– 310,000 EUR (total costs)
= 3,690,000 EUR profit from fish farming / 12 months
+ 500.000-1,000,000 EUR minimum estimated profit from one aquaculture branches
= 7.190.000-10.690.000 EUR profit from aquaculture / 12 months
SUMMARY:
+ 7.190.000-10.690.000 EUR profit / 12 months (3.690.000 EUR profit from fish farming + 500.000-1.000.000 EUR minimum estimated profit from aquaculture)
+ 10.000.000 euro profit (from tourism – 600-1000 accommodations / 6 months warm season)
The result is an estimated 13.190.000-22.690.000 EUR annual profit from aquaculture and tourism on a 736 hectares area in the Danube Delta (a profit per hectare of almost 25.000 euro / 6 months).

7.3 Agriculture
The reed removed from the platform can be exploited by its use for different design needs on the farm or by selling it, resulting a unique profit of 100,000 euros.
Agriculture with cereal/grains plants is the least profitable , only a few hundred thousand euros / year revenue. Agriculture with fforage brings revenue of approximately 1 million euro/ year.
The most profitable activitie and relatively easy to implement in those areas should be the culture of moisture -loving crops. Only by following the cultivation technology can reach a maximum of 20,000 euro income / hectare / year, after the first 5 years
7.4 Protection of species
To protect endangered species, various international organizations provide financial support under certain conditions. The more species are protected greater the revenue that subframe.
Professionally done, they could reach revenues of millions / year. And can simultaneously achieve revenues from tourism and / or aquaculture.
Among the protected species in the Delta mention:
Globally endangered species:
– Pygmy cormorant (Phalacrocorax pygmaeus) Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) Lesser white fronted goose (Anser erythropus) Red-breasted goose (Branta ruficollis) White-headed duck (Oxyura leucocephala) Ferruginous duck (Aythya nyroca)
– Birds species under Bern Convention strictly protected species: 229 species protected species: 91
