Currently, 681.3 km² (94.6% of the area of island) are occupied by agricultural terrains of which 70.84 km² are irrigated and is protected by a dam having a length of 23.5 km. On the island there are two communes, Frecăţei and Mărașu, which have about 5,000 inhabitants. In the southwest is the village of ''Măraşu''. There was a series of swamps - ''Brăila Pond'' (Romanian: ''Balta Brăilei''), until the Communist regime drained them and built dams using forced labour of political detainees and transformed it to an agricultural area. There were five "re-education camps" at Grădina, Lunca, Salcia, Stoienești and Strâmba Veche. The terrain proved to be fertile and it was declared a "success of Communism in Romania". Balta Mică a Brăilei Natural Park is base on the Small Brăila Island. == References == * Ediție Specială, 26 July 2005 ((part 1) ), ((part 2) ) * Jurnalul Național, 4 August 2005, (Bărăganul dintre braţele Dunării ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Great Brăila Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
