The objective of this chapter is to give insight in marine governance challenges, illustrated by Arctic shipping. To do this, this chapter presents a theory of marine governance as reflexive institutionalization, in which the structural properties of marine governance arrangements are (re)produced in …

Cultural heritage buildings and sites are threatened by the effects of climate change, especially in coastal zones. Risks not only include floods and submersion, but also less visible risks such as effects of moisture levels or, alternatively, drought. At the same time, it is important to involve people …

Donderdag bezocht de koninklijke familie Saba. Ze gingen langs bij een project van Nederlandse wetenschappers van hogeschool Van Hall Larenstein die door middel van zee-egels het afstervende koraalrif helpen herstellen.

Seminar at Lille University, 2 February 2023 The main objectives of the living lab Hedwige-Prosperpolder are: - Build capacity to cope with the adverse effects of climate change - Advance and share knowledge on the design and maintenance of levees - Advance and share knowledge and experiences in flood …

The long spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum was an abundant grazer on Caribbean coral reefs, until 1983–1984, when densities were reduced by ∼98% during a region wide die-off. Since then, there has been very little natural recovery of the species and interest is growing in applying aquaculture as a …

Fish assemblages of different types of artificial reefs can differ greatly in abundance, biomass and composition, with some reef types harboring over five times more herbivores than others. It is assumed that higher herbivorous fish abundance results in a higher grazing intensity, affecting the benthic …

The 1983-1984 die-off of the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum stands out as a catastrophic marine event because of its detrimental effects on Caribbean coral reefs. Without the grazing activities of this key herbivore, turf and macroalgae became the dominant benthic group, inhibiting coral recruitment …

Binnen het 'Vissen voor Verbinding'-project van o.a. hogeschool Van Hall Larenstein, worden verschillende maatregelen getroffen om de verbinding tussen het Lauwersmeer en de Waddenzee voor trekvissen te verbeteren. Monitoring speelt hierbij een belangrijke rol. Hoeveel vis zwemt er rond in het Lauwersmeer? …

Diadema sea urchins (Diadema antillarum) are important algae grazers, but restoration attempts often record low survival of restocked individuals. This article sheds light on one of the causes for unsuccessful restocking. Restocked sea urchins were monitored with time-lapse cameras for 10 days. There …

In Nederland wordt veel ecologisch onderzoek gedaan naar vissen, vaak gericht op het migratiegedrag en de belemmeringen die vissen tegenkomen wanneer ze tussen de verschillende leefgebieden migreren. Als vissen worden voorzien van zenders of merkjes staat het welzijn hierbij centraal.
