Compensation measure ‘Hahnöfer Sand’

Objectives

The measure should compensate for the extension of the construction grounds of Airbus company into the river. It was carried out according to Art.6 § 4 of the Birds & Habitat Directive in order to reach the coherence of the NATURA 2000 network.
The most important target for this measure was the establishment of estuarine habitat with shallow water areas and broad freshwater mudflats as a feeding and resting place for ducks and birds, particularly the Anas clypeata. The development of Oenanthe conioides, a species of annex II of the Birds & Habitats Directive should be stimulated. The plan was to create the necessary morphological conditions and enhance the predicted sedimentation process of the area in order to create a resting and feeding area for 400 individuals of the Anas clypeata. This number of individuals was set by the RAMSAR convention
