The Bastroe Channel (a.k.a. Bastroe Canal, Bystroye or Bystroe Channel, etc.) is a proposed project by Ukraine in the Danube Delta. According to official Ukrainian plans as of 2004, it should be completed in 2008. The intent is to provide a deep-water route from the Danube to the Black Sea under Ukrainian control, in order to reduce their ship transit costs. Ecologists have been raised significant concerns about damage to the Danube Delta ecosystem. ** After the apparent failure of diplomatic efforts, the government of Romania, where most of the Danube Delta lies, is reportedly considering building a 20 km canal that would absorb the Danube's water upstream of Ukraine's small piece of the river, in order to render the planned Bastroe Channel useless and thereby discourage Ukraine from attempting such a project. The Romanian canal would be designed so that it could be shut at any time, returning the river more or less to its current state. ** ...more on Wikipedia about "Bastroe Channel"
