The Kızılırmak Delta is the delta of the Kızılırmak River. It is the biggest wetland in the Black Sea Region [2] and is listed under the Ramsar Convention.[3] as internationally important.[4] All of the first and second delta plains and most of the third delta plain is dominated by agriculture.[5] It is important for biodiversity of plants and birds.[6]. In 2016 it was inscribed in the Tentative list of World Heritage Sites in Turkey.[7] It is 40 km from Samsun.[8]

gollark: There's a TE enchanted whatever augment now.
gollark: And the generator options allow interesting stuff like enchanted-object-powered setups.
