Shallow Bays

We want to increase water turnover through reed clearing!

About the project

The project is a development check.

The project aims to increase water turnover and reduce plant-bound nitrogen and phosphorus through reed clearing. This will be done in Högklykeviken and Måsstensfjärden and in connection with the inlets and outlets of the inlets.

The reeds will be transported away and burned. After burning, the ash with its minerals and phosphorus will be returned to the forest land to stimulate forest growth.
