After the Kakhovka dam destruction, the Romanian authorities have been monitoring the quality of water in the Black Sea and exchanging the information with the Bulgarian institutions.

The monitoring of the quality of sea water is coordinated with the Tourism Ministry so as to ensure the safety of tourists. The Tourism Ministry in Bucharest said that Romanians have no reason to cancel their holidays on the Romanian coast.

The Romanian Environment Ministry exchanges regularly information with the competent authorities of Ukraine, Moldova and Bulgaria so as to detect potential pollution.

The public health authorities in Constanta are testing the water twice daily even though it will be several months before pollutants discharged in the Dnepr river reach the Romanian coast, diluted, according to Radio Free Europe. The water is tested for E.coli, enterococci and salmonella, and the results are published on Internet.
