Mamaia

Mamaia Romanian pronunciation: [maˈmaja] is a resort on the Romanian Black Sea shore and a district of Constanța

Considered to be Romania's most popular resort, Mamaia is situated immediately north-east of Constanța's city center. It has almost no full-time residents, being populated mostly during the summer. 

Mamaia lies on a strip of land 8 km (5 mi) in length and only 300 m (330 yd) in width, between the Black Sea and Lake Siutghiol

The beach season is at its best between mid June and early September, when average daytime temperatures range between 25 and 30 °C (77 and 86 °F). The water stays warm until mid autumn.

GONDOLA - approx. distance 9Km

It was inaugurated on July 16, 2004 and from that moment it became a symbol of the Mamaia resort. Thanks to this modern facility, tourists can enjoy the beautiful views offered by a trip over the Mamaia resort. A ride with the Gondola takes 8 minutes and takes about 2 km between Hotel Perla and Casino Square, on both directions. During the trip, the red and yellow cable cabins float to a maximum height of 50 meters, passing over the highest hotels of the resort. Sit comfortably on the benches inside the gondolas and you will admire with awe the breathtaking panoramic views of the Black Sea, Constanta and the Mamaia resort.

In the amphitheater with swimming pool and in the indoor pool, demonstrations with dolphins and sea lions are organized. Three subspecies of dolphins live in the Black Sea, namely the porpoise, the common dolphin and the aphid. The Constanţa Dolphinarium hosted in its pools all three species of dolphin from the Black Sea. The first were the porpoises (Phocoena phocoena relicta) and the common dolphins (Delphinus delphis ponticus), and almost 20 years ago the aphids or large dolphins were brought, as the species Tursiops truncatus ponticus, of which Mark was also a part, was called. the veteran and star of the Dolphinarium until 2009. The new hall surrounding the pool where the two dolphins, Ni Ni and Chen Chen, performs has doubled its capacity from 600 seats in the past to 1300 seats today and it can be used both in summer and in winter. The modernization was made with a financing from the Constanța County Council, the Ministry of Development and with European funds.

Through the exhibitions they make, through the ecological education guides and activities they carry out, the biologists-museographers try to share with the visitors a part of the knowledge accumulated after the study hours and the participation in the working sessions with the dolphins and sea lions. The organization of symposia, scientific communication sessions with specialists from the country and abroad contributes to maintaining the current level of knowledge in the field. The various actions already established: Black Sea Day, Dolphin Week and others are carried out in partnership with schools, high schools, O.N.G.s and media representatives, for a better awareness of environmental conservation and protection issues. Numerous thematic exhibitions, dioramas and other exceptional museum forms are permanently in the attention of our specialists.

MICRORESERVE - approx. distance 11Km 

Within the Museum Complex of Natural Sciences Constanţa, starting with 1985, a Microreservation entered the public circuit, which covers an area of about 12 ha, of which 2 ha represent a luster of water with marshy vegetation. This objective was created with the idea of offering visitors a more complex picture of the nature of Dobrogea.

The patrimony of this objective has the aquatic avifauna (pelicans, swans, ducks and wild geese), terrestrial avifauna (peacocks, pheasants) and mammals (mouflons, shovel deer, deer), which are found in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve and Negureni Reserve. Most of these specimens are monuments of nature and rare species with a declining representation in natural biotopes. Some specimens were obtained through exchanges with other zoos and others were purchased or donated. Every year, many specimens belonging to various species (mouflons, shovel deer) have been reproduced and bred in captivity. In 2010, a specimen of Mongolian horse Equus prijewalsky was brought from Dorici / Bulgaria. 

All these "tenants" benefit from "accommodation" spaces according to European regulations, the current trend being the elimination of concrete platforms and surrounding metal bars. Currently, this section is also in full moderation and in continuous activity of increasing and diversifying the staff. It is intended that this natural setting becomes not only a visiting area but also a relaxing and even recreational area, to spend free time in an educational and pleasant way. During the summer season, on the natural lake inside the Microreserve you can admire the colonies of pelicans and swans floating majestically. In the cold season, all avifauna specimens benefit from heated shelters.

In addition to the leisure and relaxation side, at the Microreserve there are also organized visits of pupils and students to complete the biology information with the help of our specialists. At the same time, the active involvement in the volunteer programs, makes the animal lovers able to participate in their supervised feeding, being part of the diet established for each species. A rescue center was also set up in the department to house and quarantine specimens brought by various people, especially in the cold season.

Within the Microreservation you can find, in a special natural setting, a number of 86 species with a population of over 460 specimens.
