#Berlin not only boasts numerous lakes but also #waterways, both artificial and natural, all of which are sites of considerable #aquatic #biodiversity. My photos show the #BerlinSpandau #ShipCanal near the #Westhafen (a #harbor). C. C. Voigt et al. (2019) demonstrated the importance these waterways for terrestrial animals as well, namely e.g. #bats, which use #waterbodies and vegetated areas to bypass #artificiallight routes
