Unlike most seas, which have a uniformly formed shelf, the continental shelf of the Black Sea is limited in extent, reaching its maximum values in the northwest. The characteristic width of the shelf along the other coasts is 2-12 km. Situated in the north-western part of the Black Sea, the Romanian coastline is about 244 km long, the predominant orientation of the shoreline is N-S, with relatively shallow depths. The northern limit is the Mosura Arm (45°12´ N and 29°40´ E) in the Danube Delta,
