What wonderful and creative ideas come up when you mix people with different research backgrounds! Scientists from the IOW, the University of Rostock, BUND and EUCC-D discussed how floating wetland design could be ameliorated regarding sustainability and durability or which macrophytes would match different installation sites. The workshop took place at the aquaculture research institute in Born and finished with an excursion to the Nationalpark Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft.
