| - Vegetation along the banks of the river differs significantly depending on the surrounding conditions. In the highest part of the course, there is hardly any vegetation except for some grasses, mosses, and lichens. Further down the course of the river, in the Prolock Massive, shrubs and a few lost trees bring more variety to the landscape, although it is still pretty empty. It is when the river comes below the 120 meter marker that the first real pine forests emerge. This is related to the softer underground there, compared to the rocky wastelands of other parts of northernmost Oceana. Below this line, the Prolock carries off large quantities of sediment, as it is eroding the softer soil of the Duenn Forests and carrying it off towards the Pacific Ocean. Along a large part of this lower course, gravel banks can be found. The vegetation along the lower course is even less diverse than the vegetation along the Kollweck, although it gets more diverse in the delta. Unlike the other larger rivers of the North Coast district, the Prolock is not home to the Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus skyhlan, commonly known as School salmon. The braided river structure combined with the large amounts of sediment, as well as its shallowness, make the Prolock an unsuitable place for spawn. Some occasional visitors can however be found in the delta.
