This e-lecture presents a coastal protection and renaturation case study in northern Germany. As consequence of sea level rise and storm surges, the existing dyke was abandoned. A controlled flooding and re-wetting of coastal lowlands established an ecologically valuable, protected brackish lagoon system. Nowadays the areas is a tourism attraction, but insufficient information and participation as well as local resistance hampered the planning and implementation process.
