Abstract

An 18 km long immersed tunnel is going to be built between Denmark and Germany. The construction works include dredging for the tunnel trench and reclamation of areas in the coastal zone. The paper discusses the baseline conditions and the potential impacts on the aquatic environment of the dredging works. Focus is on sediment spill from the soil handling and methods to investigate the effects of additional turbidity in the water.
