Viggo Holm Jensen making Video Production for Fehmarn Belt Link

External Lecturer Viggo Holm Jensen has just finished and had approved a multilanguage and multilength video production for Fehmarn Belt Link (a company that oversees the upcoming creation of a tunnel between Denmark and Germany). This video was about “The Environment in the Øresund” during and after construction. He has been making videos for Fehmarn Belt Link since 2008.

12 years previous to his work at Fehmarn he started working for the Øresund Link in 1996, making footage of the marine environment. And many of the areas around the Øresund Link has since been surveyed up until today. Of specific interest for the Fehmarn Belt Link is that it is now possible to survey how the environment has developed around the Øresund Tunnel in Drogden in the waters between the Danish mainland and the artificial island of Peberholm in the Øresund.

The video features several survey videos made in the years since 1996 untill 2011. And the result of the marine environment around the Øresund Tunnel is rather amazing: A good ten years after the tunnel was covered with stones, the area is full of large, healthy seaweed plants. The stone cover on top of the tunnel has developed in just a few years into a natural stone reef with seabed vegetation that thrives on this type of seabed. The vegetation arrived of its own accord – the stones are a good basis for several seaweed species, for example sweet tangle and bladder wrack.
