assessment method

The federal and state governments regularly collect data on the North Sea and Baltic Sea using various monitoring methods. This helps to assess the marine environment and counteract negative trends. In addition to traditional sampling with ships and aircraft, innovative methods such as satellite imagery and modelling are increasingly being used for monitoring.

100 major copper, iron ore and bauxite (“aluminium ore”) mine sites worldwide have been assessed for their environmental hazard potentials. Results have been published in an interactive map with a number of filter functions. In particular, companies can use the map to analyse environmental risks along supply chains and to support their environmental due diligence.
