A good design of the measure is very important in order to create an area with the most possible dynamics of the tides. The design should provide different elevation levels with respect to the tide. Flat areas with little depressions below mean high water are very important for the establishment of creeks, serving as a habitat for Oenanthe conioides, waders and - after extension - also for juvenile fish. The special design of tidal creeks has turned out as superfluous; the tidal dynamics were too dominant. It turned out to be important to have prevented the area of human disturbance.

Crux of the matter
The realignment had a positive effect on the conservation goals and enhanced the development of species diversity. The settlement of typical species took place on its own, e.g. spores come with the tide. Initial planting was not necessary.A good design of the measure is very important in order to create an area with the most possible dynamics of the tides.
