The realisation of the Elbe-Atlantic-Aquarium will probably generate synergy effects. It may become the initial start for the following institutions and operations:
 
Research/Science
Since the opening-up of the inner-German border, the Elbe is in the focus of the particular interest of international, systematic ecological research. Scientific issues in the areas of
species- and biotope protection, water quality, renaturation of waters and high-water protection are in the foreground. The unavoidable new orientation in the field of protection of flooded meadows and international sea protection creates a continuously increasing requirement for respective institutions. It is thus feasible to have a direct linkage of offices of governmental authorities, nature reserve organisations, as well as university outlets focussing on research activities in the field of outdoor ecology or fishery ecological issues.

Nature Tourism
As early as now, the economic net product through tourism is high in the catchment area of the Elbe. In connection with the Elbe- Atlantic-Aquarium, there are the options of organised boat tours to farther destinations along the river Elbe, or short-term boat tours with the noiseless solar-driven boats under professional guidance (such as In the realm of the beaver, Fish shoals via echo depth sounder, e.g.).
