The reef development consists of two environmental compensation measures. Altogether 42.5 ha new reef structures are to be re-established on the seabed.
The size of boulders shall not exceed 100 cm and must not be less than 30 cm in diameter. At least 70% of the boulders should have a diameter of 60 to 100 cm. The stones shall be unbroken (erratic blocks), i.e. “boulders” and be of glacial origin. The quantity of boulders corresponds to the total requirement of approx. 148,750 t, out of which approx. 87,500 t (or 59 %) shall originate from the Baltic Sea region, while no geographical requirements apply to approx. 61,250 t (or 41 %) of the boulders.
