    Key features of the case study

    A 1200 m2 artificial bay has been constructed from a former small 15-m wide and 18-m deep harbour. The latter has been enlarged in its backward part by a shallow bay. The newly created banks have a gentle slope and sandy substrate. Immediately after construction there was an initial planting of aquatic macrophytes hampering the evaluation of natural recolonization by macrophytes.

    The site requires an unexpected high maintenance effort. It has to bee frequently cleaned from litter dropped off the cars on the highway bridge crossing this site.
