Abstract
The Kalamas river delta lies in N.W. Greece, very close to the Greek-Albanian border. The delta area occupies 7,000 ha and consists of two estuaries which were formed after the initial bed was partially deviated for irrigation purposes. A large area of the delta floodplain was converted into agricultural land, but also new coastal habitats developed.
