Abstract
The Southern Baltic Sea coast is dominated by lagoons, which are called Bodden and Haffe in relation to the geological background and their formation. They are all heavily eutrophicated, but differ in the eutrophication grade by their catchment area, water retention and exchange with the Baltic. Here, two contrasting Bodden lagoons will be compared. One is the more eutrophicated Darß-Zingst Bodden with a large catmint from agricultural use and a small exchange to the Baltic versus the Vitter Bodden with a smaller catchment and a much larger exchange to the Baltic by two openings. The differences in morphology and hydrology have a tremendous effect on all water parameters, which result in completely different macrophyte colonization.
