Tourism development along its length is an important source of income and provides multiple options. The Cazane area is a relatively short portion on the river, located in the lower course of the Danube, very spectacular that also offers tourists unforgettable images.The current legislation supports the development of tourism and protects the river respectively the environment. Unfortunately, there are areas where pollution is present which can jeopardize the tourism activity and destroy the entire habitat. The samplings were taken in the 2011-2013 period by the authors.
