What factors contribute to the price disparity between the North Sea and Baltic Sea regions?

The price increases are attributed to a reversal of trends seen last year due to the war in Ukraine, inflation, and increased interest rates. The North Sea islands, especially Sylt, remain highly sought after due to their location and amenities, resulting in continued high prices despite overall market fluctuations. This contrasts with lower price increases on the East Coast, with the most expensive region being the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula at €4,450 per square meter.

What are the immediate consequences of rising sea levels and warming waters on the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea ecosystem and its human inhabitants?

Forty years ago, Germany designated the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea as a national park. Now, rising sea levels due to climate change, currently 40 centimeters higher in Cuxhaven than in 1843, threaten this unique ecosystem and its adapted human culture. Warmer waters, two degrees above average this spring, are changing fish populations, with drastically reduced herring catches (320 tons in 2023 versus 35,000 tons pre-2003) and the arrival of Mediterranean species.
