None of the water bodies are in good ecological and chemical status. All exceed the limit values for nitrates, mercury and mercury compounds, and the herbicide brominated diphenyl ether. In the middle reaches of the Lippingau, the limit values for the herbicide diflufenican are also exceeded. Several stationary chemical and biological monitoring stations are located along the Lippingau and the lower reaches of the Esguser Mühlenstrom stream (see Map 2). According to the Water Framework Directive (WFD), all water bodies in the European Union must achieve "good" ecological and chemical status by 2028.

The marina is in Gelting-Mole and is also called that. The great restaurant "Sonne und Meer" was also located here until 2023
