Measure
The beginning of works was in March 2001. Since October 2002 a mudflat area of 63 ha in the western bay is influenced again by the tides. Remaining works for profiling this area, i.e. building of a training wall in front of the bay were finished in 2003.
In 2002 the works in the eastern part of the mudflat started. The area was opened for tidal influence in 2004. All works were completed in 2005. Approximately 80 mill. € were invested.
In 2008 the area became a nature reserve, and since 2010 it is part of the NATURA 2000 network. Further measures in this area should be assessed in order to protect the species Oenanthe conioides.
