The ARBDD permit (Danube Delta)

All waters in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve: the Danube's branches in the Delta, the channels, the lakes and the lagoons (Razim-Sinoe).

Cost: The ARBDD recreational fishing permit is free. The reserve access permit has a small fee, per day or per year (Order 610/2009, as updated), plus separate fees for your own boat or car.

Validity: Fishing permit: annual. Access: daily or annual.

Steps

  1. 1

    Go to the ARBDD online permit portal

    The recreational fishing permit and the access permit (tourist, boat, vehicle) are issued online, with your account; you can also get them at the ARBDD office in Tulcea (34A Portului St.), at the information centres in the Delta, by SMS to 7494 or at SelfPay kiosks.

  2. 2

    Apply for the recreational fishing permit (free)

    With your ID details. You don't need the ANADSPA (formerly ANPA) permit -- it isn't valid in the Delta.

  3. 3

    Pay for the access permit

    You get it for the days or the year you enter the reserve; if you bring your own boat, also the boat fee.

  4. 4

    Follow the Delta's rules

    Max. 5 kg of fish per day; pike, zander, catfish and carp: catch & release, with a single fish per day from a single species; some lakes and channels are strictly protected zones where fishing is forbidden; tents only at authorised campsites.
