33 EU Strategy for the Danube Region Intervention by WWF International Ms Irene Lucius si Infrastructurii

34 Improving fairway conditions in an integrated fashion - reflections by WWF Irene Lucius, WWF ilucius@wwfdcp.org EUSDR Forum 2015 EUSDR Forum 2015

35 Master Plan: Sediments: management? Impact on habitats? Monitoring essential for understanding real bottlenecks Depth: 2.5 m (ENR) on 94% of days plus moderate width right direction

36 More flexible width requires: hydrographic surveys, waterway marking & maintenance, RIS, real time fairway information equipment budget for maintenance staff capacity

37 Flexible width fewer bottlenecks / critical sectors remaining bottlenecks: dredging & structural measures designed to minimise impact on biodiversity and based on adequate information (e.g. from captains)

38 Structural measures: extensive hydrodynamic & morphological modelling needed saves capital costs and minimizes environmental impacts.

39 Dredging: where and how important! fish spawning periods and habitats based on surveillance and experience re-deposit material well

40 Reflections by WWF Working with nature minimum engineering intervention Still the exception rather than the rule Non-structural measures to be better investigated (e.g. innovative traffic management in frame of RIS activities) SEA capture cumulative impact (e.g. incision) help finding sustainable solutions. Appropriate Assessment WFD art Sept

41 Conclusions: basin-wide agreement on more flexible width & reasonable depth fewer interventions reduced costs less conflict Preconditions: better fairway maintenance sufficient funds motivated and trained staff RIS
