Well, it is a rather small river and the first major conglomeration is Ostrava with a population of 900,000 and a shitton of heavy industry to this day. On the other hand still having some non-offshore industry (DE, CZ, PL, etc) has many advantages too. Especially in the coming years.

Having industry doesn't necessarily mean destroying the environment. Regulations regarding emissions exist for a reason. But as long as industrialists are allowed to externalize the costs for "doing business" in a scheme to socialize the negative effects and privatize earnings we are in a bad position.

Clean up the mess you produce should be a basic and decent course of action. Not only for us humans but for every human endeavor.
