The Saaremaa County Council has determined that the old dredge pit in the courtyard of a production company in Kuressaare, Estonia, is not dangerous for humans and does not require closure to protect eider chicks. The pit has been occupied by common eider nests, and chicks are unable to excavate their own nests, leading to mortality. Either the chicks die in the nest or are rescued by the rescue service or volunteers.

Furthermore, a significant number of chicks succumb to death during transport to the water. The council’s assessment indicates the site poses no immediate threat and should not be closed, addressing the risk of an accident.
