Bird migration is a big issue; it could actually be a show-stopper.” She went on to outline some of the subsea impacts that windfarms can have, with major concerns including noise, suspended sediments, loss of seabed habitat and electromagnetic fields from cables.

On 15 May 1248, Erik IV of Denmark granted Tallinn town rights under the Lübeck Law, thereby joining Tallinn to the common legal space of German trading towns.

  • Development and Protection of the Coasts in the Tallinn Area
    Proc. Estonian Acad. Sci. Geol., 2005, 54, 2, 119–136 Development and protection of the coasts in the Tallinn area Heino Levalda and Ain Valdmannb a Estonian Maritime Academy, Mustakivi 25, 13912 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] b Tallinn Municipal Engineering Services Department, Mündi 2, 10146 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected] Received 16 February 2005, in revised form 14 April 2005 Abstract. The paper deals with the protection of the coastal areas of Tallinn and their primary development into harbours. The coast and coastal buildings are endangered by strong storm waves, especially in case of a high sea accompanying the storm. Due to the influence of waves, the coastal terrace recedes towards the land; in the bays the sands are whether deposited or swept away. Storms have caused major destruction to the coasts of Aegna Island and the Kakumäe Peninsula. The coastal area owners, the local authorities, and the organs of the state should take measures to protect the coasts through mutual cooperation and improvement of the valid legislation. The coasts and harbours within the boundaries of Tallinn are predominantly state-owned. In planning the development of the harbours it is necessary to reckon with the increase in passenger transport and sea tourism, environmental protection, safety and economic interests of the city, which have so far been some- what neglected. Tallinn Municipality has begun to rearrange the administration of the coasts and harbours located within the city borders. Muuga Harbour plays a special role in further protection of coasts and development of harbours and could take over a major part of cargo transport within the boundaries of Tallinn.
