Key lessons

Land use planning should be a significant component in the implementation plan; Consequences of water management decisions in other economic sectors should be an integral part of the analyses made during the planning process; Stakeholders need to get to know each other to understand and interpret concepts

Success factor(s)

Barrier

Barrier type	Barrier role	Comments
Expected maintenance needs	main barrier	Lack of maintenance
Other	secondary barrier	4 000 new houses will be built in the direct vicinity of the site. It is planned that by 2010, the 1 700 inhabitants of the southern part of the reserve will increase to as many as 20 000 inhabitants. Consequently substantial effects on the immediately adjacent Nature 2000 site may be expected.
Lacking financing sources	secondary barrier	Despite the fact that the locality is designated a national nature reserve, the protection and management is not adequate due to low public awareness and insufficient financial and technical maintenance.
