Why do we do this?
Extreme events such as floods, droughts, heatwaves and storm surges pose significant risks to coastal ecosystems and human communities. Global climate change and ecosystem degradation are increasing the frequency and intensity of these events. The Elbe Estuary and the German Bight are vulnerable to extreme hydrodynamic and environmental events such as storm surges, heatwaves, floods and pollution events due to their geographical location and intensive use. These events can cause significant damage to water quality and ecosystems and affect biodiversity.
