Abstract/Summary
|
-
The man-made environmental disaster in the summer of 2022, resulting in masses of dead fish, mussels and snails, has caused severe damage to the Oder River ecosystem. Policymakers, authorities, NGOs and the public are currently discussing how the river can be helped – and how the risk of such major ecological and economic damage can be reduced in the future. This IGB Policy Brief provides a concise summary of what is known about the causes of the fish kill, and what measures we recommend to policymakers and authorities to restore and preserve the River Oder habitat and its important ecosystem services. The Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB), Germany’s largest freshwater research centre, has been working on the Oder for decades. On this basis, IGB scientists identify problem areas and evidencebased recommendations for action.
