To do so, they monitor its physical, chemical and biological status, [...] board the training ship. In addition to collecting samples from the North Sea, the Uthörn regularly goes on transect cruises. Here, the sea is surveyed and analysed at the same group of sites, again and again

scientific and technological bases for the restoration of European oyster stocks in the German North Sea need to be developed. Following the given framework of nature conservation laws, a variety of t [...] reef for further investigations on a successful restoration of the European oyster in the German North Sea was established in summer 2020, as part of the next phase, the RESTORE main project . Supported [...] spring 2017, European oysters were put inside oyster cages, and deployed in the offshore maritime area north of the island of Helgoland.

Over the past [...] levees. Further, the tidal flats of the North Sea can to some extent rise in step with the sea level, as high and low tide regularly add new sediment. However, if sea-level rise exceeds a certain point – [...] Global sea level on the rise Around the world, sea level is rising. From 1901 to 2018, global mean sea level rose by 20 centimetres – and in the future, it will continue to do so, and more quickly. This

in quantitative assessment of the impact of bottom trawling on carbon storage in the North Sea and global shelf seas was recently published in the journal Nature Geoscience .
[...] Flatfish and shrimp are caught in the North Sea by using trawls that are dragged across the seabed. This releases carbon into the water and carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, as shown by the latest
