Chengene Skele protected area

Protected site in the bay of Chengene Skele (Tsiganski Pristan) at the estuary of the Marinka River, south of Kraymorie village (~15 km south of Burgas) in southern Burgas Bay. One of only three Bulgarian protected territories that include marine waters; designated 1995 to protect threatened bird species and the only coastal mud plain in Bulgaria. Spearfishing is incompatible with the protected regime of this shallow estuarine bay.
