  • The Marine Data Infrastructure provides metadata and data of the German coastal zone from the topics of coastal engineering, coastal water protection, ocean environmental protection and others over a common web portal.

  • The product catalogue of the BSH contains all nautical products such as nautical charts (in digital or paper form), sea manuals but also other printed materials produced by the BSH.

  • This Web Service provides, inter alia, data from approval and enforcement procedures of the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The data quality may vary due to the age and the variety of sources used. Thus, no guarantee is given for the correctness of the data.

  • The Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) has determined the addressee and the amount of support under the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) by means of a call for tenders since 2021 onwards for wind turbines at sea that are commissioned from January 1, 2026 onwards. With the amended Offshore Wind Energy Act (WindSeeG), which came into force on January 1, 2023, there is a change in the tendering process for centrally pre-surveyed areas to bidding criteria that are newly defined in sec. 51 WindSeeG. The location, timing and sequence of the areas to be tendered are determined in each case by the Site Development Plan (FEP). The sites defined in the FEP are examined by the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) in accordance with sec. 9 et seqq. WindSeeG. The preliminary site investigation comprises studies on the marine environment (sec. 10 para. 1 no. 1 WindSeeG), the preliminary investigation of the subsoil (sec. 10 para. 1 no. 2 WindSeeG), the investigation of the wind and oceanographic conditions on the area to be tendered (sec. 10 para. 1 no. 3 WindSeeG) as well as necessary studies on shipping to identify hazards to the safety and ease of traffic from the installation and operation of offshore wind turbines (sec. 10 para. 1 no. 4 WindSeeG). The results of the investigations and related documents are made available via the data hub. The provision serves the fulfillment of the legal obligation from sec. 50 sen. 2 no. 7 WindSeeG.

  • In the world's oceans, underwater sound (hydro-sound) is generated by natural sources such as wind, waves, sea ice and animals. But humans also generate additional sound sources through their activities on and in the sea. The Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) maintains Germany's national noise register as part of the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSRL). We collect information and measurements on impulsive sound events (pile driving, detonations, military activities, seismic and other impulsive sound events) as well as continuous sound measurements from the German North and Baltic Seas.

  • The service provides information for selected locations near water level stations on the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts and the lower reaches of the Elbe River. Where data is available, each location provides forecasts for water level, water surface temperature, air temperature, wind speed, and wind direction. It is designed to help users plan their leisure activities in and around the water.

  • The data represent the calculated yields of wind farms in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in full load hours per wind farm expansion area, assuming an expansion of offshore wind energy defined in different scenarios. The calculations were carried out with the numerical weather model WRF using a parameterization of wind farms according to Fitch. The results refer to the areas in the North Sea and the meteorological year 2006.

  • The service includes German water level stations in the North Sea and Baltic Sea as well as the lower reaches of the Weser, Elbe, and Ems rivers. Where data is available, each water level station provides forecasts for water level, water surface temperature, air temperature, wind speed and direction, and local sunrise and sunset times for the sun and moon.

  • TMAP parameter group: Mussel, cockle and shrimp fishery (FMCS). Statistics about blue mussel and shrimp fishery The trilateral Monitoring and Assessment Program was established in 1994 and contains 28 chemical, biological, geological and common parameter. Analyses enable an assessment on the trilateral agreed ecological targets. Results are published as Quality status report regularly. Investigations are done with regard to the following issues of concern primarily (Kellermann, A. et al. 1994): - Effects of climate change on the morphology, - Effects of pollutant inputs (nutrients and contaminants) on processes, species and communities, - Effects of fisheries on species and communities, - Effects of recreational activities on species, - Effects of agricultural utilization on salt marsh communities.#locale-ger:TMAP Parameter Gruppe: Mussel, cockle and shrimp fishery (FMCS). Statistics about blue mussel and shrimp fishery Das 1994 zum Schutz des Wattenmeeres eingeführte Trilateral Monitoring and Assessment Program (TMAP, deutsch: Trilaterales Monitoring und Bewertungsprogramm) umfasst ein Monitoring von insgesamt 28 chemischen, biologischen, geologischen und allgemeinen Parametern. Eine Auswertung der Monitoringdaten ermöglicht eine Beurteilung des Zustandes im Wattenmeer vor dem Hintergrund der trilateral vereinbarten ökologischen Entwicklungsziele. Die Ergebnisse werden etwa alle fünf Jahre im Qualitätszustandsbericht veröffentlicht. Dabei stehen Erhebungen zu folgenden Komplexen im Vordergrund (Kellermann, A. et al. 1994): - Folgen möglicher Klimaänderungen auf Hydrologie, Morphologie und Habitate des Wattenmeeres, - Auswirkungen von Nähr- und Schadstoffeinträgen auf geochemische und biologische Prozesse sowie auf Arten und Lebensgemeinschaften des Wattenmeeres, - den Auswirkungen der Muschel- und Garnelenfischerei auf Arten und Lebensgemeinschaften, - Auswirkungen von Freizeitaktivitäten auf Arten (vor allem Vögel und marine Säuger) sowie - Auswirkungen landwirtschaftlicher Nutzung auf die Lebensgemeinschaften der Salzwiesen.

  • The data represent the average reduction in wind speed in % due to the operation of wind farms in the German Bight of the North Sea, assuming an expansion of offshore wind energy in continuous expansion years. The calculations were carried out with the numerical weather model WRF using a parameterization of wind farms according to Fitch. The results are available for the height of 125m in 2km x 2km resolution for the meteorological year 2006.
