Risk Perception in the Wadden Sea Region - a survey in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands

Abstract

This report presents the outcome of the online survey, which was conducted by HZG from mid-June to mid-September 2017 among members of the Wadden Sea Forum and the public at large living and working in all three countries in the Wadden Sea Region. The survey was conducted in Danish, German and Dutch language. 350 questionnaires from survey participants in the Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands have been received and were included in the analysis. Even though the survey cannot be regarded as statistically representative, its results point to important aspects requiring recognition by policy makers and refer to collaborative action to be taken at trilateral, national and subnational level.
