The implementation of environmental projects and measures in the Dyje river basin was negatively influenced by the insufficient co-operation between the departments of the ME and the Ministry of Agriculture.
The fact that co-operation is not of the desired standard was reflected, for example, during the implementation of a supra-regional bio-corridor in the territory of the Nové Mlýny Waterworks, where an investment worth CZK 62,212,000 is being partially put to waste.

 The Ramsar Wetland Conservation Awards 2002: Morava-Dyje Initiative
The Morava-Dyje riverine landscape is one of the last regions in Europe where traditional land use has secured a rich biodiversity, and today it is becoming a model area for the reconciliation of man and nature.
In their own regions and in collaboration, the four organisations have developed and implemented activities to restore degraded habitats, to use sustainably the resources of the land (notably through the use of traditional and extensive farming practices), and to inform and sensitise the local populations.
Their activities have lead to the signature, by the Ministries for the Environment of the three countries, of a Memorandum of Understanding to implement the Ramsar Convention in the transboundary, trilateral area of the "Morava - Dyje Floodplains" and to the establishment of the Trilateral Ramsar Platform in the Morava - Dyje floodplains.
