A water permit for the Hailuoto Causeway between Riutunkari and Huikku was granted with conditions governing marine environmental impacts, including limits on construction-induced water turbidity and requirements for monitoring water quality, benthic fauna, fisheries, nesting birds, beach erosion and vegetation. The permit decision also requires fisheries monitoring, planting of fry and compensation for loss of fishing profits, and it underpins the ongoing construction works and associated utility relocations on the fixed link between Hailuoto and the Finnish mainland.
