River deltas are important habitats for many bird- and plant species.
In Norway more than 50 percent of a total number of 290 river deltas that cover an area of more than 25 hectares, are moderately or severely affected by development. In Sothern Norway, 70 per cent are affected. In the southern parts of Norway, there has been less impact on fresh-water deltas than on brackish water (coastal) deltas.

The types of developments that have had the greatest impact on river deltas are cultivation, road construction, regulation of watercourses and the establishment of industry.
