This fact sheet for the project INNOVA illustrates a literature review on the effects of climate change on beach wrack landing on the German Baltic Shore. Beach wrack consists mainly of bladderwrack and seagrass and it is likely that climate change will have various effects on these plants. Aspects like rising water temperature, erosion, changes in salinity, eutrophication or oxygen deficiency are all affected by climate change. This will have direct effects on the composition and amount of beach wrack landing on the Baltic Sea shores.

In 2014, the German Participatory Forum on Fish Protection and Downstream Migration was able to develop a common understanding of the size of a screen up to which functioning mechanical fish protection and descent systems, including the necessary cleaning technology, can be implemented. The objective of the research underlying this Fact Sheet 04 was to verify whether the statement of the German Participatory Forum on Fish Protection and Downstream Migration is confirmed in the actual operation of existing fish protection screens. Fact Sheet 04 "Technical functionality of large fish protection screens confirmed in practice" is available for download.
