Sveriges Radio P4 Malmöhus, December 7 - on the creation of a 5 000 square meter wetland in Lomma municipality. This is the public local radion station, known by surveys to reach more people than any other media.


Sydsvenska Dagbladet, November 23 - the action of constructing a  wetland, which happens to have the shape of a tadpole, is being highlighted:  "The wetland will delay water flows during heavy rains and reduce the risk of flooding and erosion in the area and along the beach. Moreover, nutrients in the water from adjacent farming fields are captured by the vegetation on the site, which reduces the eutrophication of the sea." Pdf below.
