Problems

Kerkennah has had very big problems for many years:

-The supplying of the archipelago with drinking water is limited and the majority of wells are drained.

-The access to the archipelago is only possible by ferry, which takes 1 hour.

-The impossibility to build an airport because the ground is soft.

-The absence of an lock which provokes le retreat of the island in the face of the sea.

-The lack of intensive medical help which forces wounded to be transferred on the continent by helicopter.

With all these problems, the archipelago doesn't attract tourists and the population is ageing that which provoks a missing of development of the island.
