Indicator Group Code Main pressures freshwater zone Elbe Effect? Description: Aim of the measure Hahnöfer Nebenelbe
- - - 0 + + +
S.I. - Habitat loss and degradation during the last about 100 years: Subtidal         ++ Building of new shallow water area, long-term stabilization of these areas
S.I. 1.1 Habitat loss and degradation during the last about 100 years: Intertidal       +   Stabilization of the adjacent mudflats
S.I. 1.4/ 1.5 Gross change in morphology/hydrographic regime during the last about 100 years     0      
S.I. 3.1/3.2 Decrease of water and sediment chemical quality     0      
D.I. 2.3 Discharge of nutrients or harmful substances     0      
D.I. 1.3 Land claim during the last about 100 years     0      
D.I. 2.6 Capital dredging     0      
S.I. = state indicator; D.I. = driver indicator

The measure ‘Hahnöfer Nebenelbe’ is, conducted as a compensation measure, not assigned to the WFD. Nevertheless it covers two of the main pressures related to the WFD.
