Natura 2000

Danish Ports is concerned about the Danish Nature Agency’s designation of six selected marine areas in the Kattegat as Natura 2000 sites. The Danish Nature Agency is designating six selected marine areas in the Kattegat as Natura 2000 sites. This could impact the operations and interests of Danish ports, as the areas will be off-limits to dredging, raw material extraction, and fishing with bottom-trawling gear. Danish Ports is concerned about the designation and, in particular, that the authorities have provided no information on the economic and practical consequences. View the consultation materials here.
