With a growing world population and simultaneously degrading ecosystems due to unsustainable agricultural practices, and due to a limited available space and resources, sustainable food sources are increasing in demand. Seaweed has emerged as a promising nutritious and protein rich alternative of low …

Native European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) reefs have strongly declined in the Dutch Delta, motivating restoration efforts that use engineered substrates to support settlement and early reef development. In Lake Veere, Project Asta tests the Mother Reef concept: biodegradable clay blocks that are conditioned …

Biodiversity and water quality analysis was performed in the Bulurancang and Curah Tangkil springs present in mount Arjuno-Welirang. These values were correlated via the Pearson method. It was found that Bulurancang consistently showed higher species richness, diversity indices, and taxa in comparison …

Before finalizing the design plans for the Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, requested by IDOM’s client, a flood risk analysis of the site is required. Within this flood risk analysis, the impacts on the SWRO site will be simulated during a rainfall event with a return period …

Diatoms are essential in the aquatic ecosystem, especially in estuary systems like the Scheldt Estuary, in which centric diatoms are the dominant phytoplankton and serve as an important food resource for upper trophic levels. The understanding of the population dynamics is therefore an essential element …

The restoration of native flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) reefs in Lake Veere is a key ecological goal of the Oyster Heaven project. However, successful reef development may be hindered by predation. The European green crab *(Carcinus maenas),* a known bivalve predator in Lake Veere. This study investigated …

This research report investigates three different measuring methods of bed level heigh on tidal flats. A background on the dynamics of tidal flats, the importance and the reason for doing research into their geomorphology and dynamics was done next set up. Next to this, detailed explanations about the …

In dit onderzoek wordt het verschil tussen een centrale en decentrale rioolwaterzuiveringsinstallatie onderzocht om inzicht te krijgen in de milieu-impact. Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd met behulp van het Greenhouse Gas-protocol dat drie scopes beschrijft om directe en indirecte broeikasgas emissies te …

Het doel van dit onderzoek was om statistisch een benadering te maken van de optimale bodembedekking voor tarbot in de raceways van Seafarm. Het is van belang dat de kweek duurzaam verloopt, zodat het welzijn van de tarbot niet verkeken wordt, maar er moet ook voldoende productie zijn dat de handel winstgevend …

Salt marshes are known to be an important habitat type for numerous species of fish. As fish stocks are pressured around the world, providing them with suitable habitat is very important. Through managed realignments or tidal restoration, intertidal salt marshes are created or restored. Which fish use …
