The results show that the North Sea has a significant impact on the marine ecosystem in the Skagerrak and the northern Kattegat. Among environmental changes recently documented for some of these areas are: increased nutrient concentrations, increased occurrence of fast-growing fila- mentous algae in coastal areas affecting nursery and feeding conditions lor fish, declining bottom water oxygen concentrations with negative effects on benthic fauna, and sediment toxicity to inverte brates also causing physiological responses in fish. lt is concluded that, due to eutrophication and toxic substances, large-scale environmental changes and effects occur in the Skagerrak-Kattegat area.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Fluctuations in sea level influence the condition of many coastal groundwater aquifers. A rise in sea level can result in seawater intrusion in areas where the groundwater level is near the present sea level, and it may take a long time for the boundary between salt and fresh groundwater to reach equilibrium after a rapid sea level change.

The intention is to propose a set of policy options to enhance the contribution of these infrastructures to economic and social development at home and abroad in the years to come. The Project follows on from the work undertaken in the OECD’s Infrastructure to 2030 Report and focuses on gateways, hubs and corridors which were not encompassed in the earlier report. The objectives include identifying projections and scenarios to 2015 / 2030 / 2050, opportunities and challenges facing gateways and hubs, assessing future infrastructure needs and financing models, drawing conclusions and identifying policy options for improved gateway and corridor infrastructure in future. The Project Description includes five work modules that outline the scope and content of the work in more detail. The Steering Group and OECD International Futures Programme team are managing the project, which is being undertaken in consultation with the OECD / International Transport Forum and Joint Transport Research Centre and with the participation of OECD in-house and external experts as appropriate.
