The paper aims to present the ecological potential of the Techirghiol area, focusing on the lake and its surroundings. Located in south east Romania, being the largest saline lake of the country, it is well known for its diverse ecosystems, habitat variety, and rich flora and fauna. In the introduction phase, multiple analyses were made, such as types of vegetation, species and habitats, trophic networks, and pollution. Regarding the results and discussions, the relationship between ecosystem and various factors was identified, creating a comprehensive synthesis. In terms of recommendations, the integration of ecotourism principles was strongly suggested to harmonise human interaction with lake ecosystems. This study underscores the fundamental importance of embracing conservation and sustainability, while developing an alternative type of tourism. As a conclusion, this study establishes a foundation for making well-informed decisions, thereby promoting a symbiotic coexistence between human activities and the valuable natural resources the lake provides.
