The Küstenschutzbedarf (Coastal Protection Needs) website offers interactive maps and information on coastal protection for the German North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts. The maps show which regions are already protected today and which areas will need additional protection by the end of the 21st century, as storm surges will rise higher in the future due to sea level rise and changes in wind climate.
