Oesterdam sand nourishment : Ecological and morphological development of a local sand nourishment

Abstract: ACHTERGRONDIn de Oosterschelde is door de aanleg van de stormvloedkering (1986) sprake van 'zandhonger'. Het getij is verminderd, waardoor het evenwicht tussen erosie en sedimentatie is verstoord. Bij rustig weer bouwt het intergetijdengebied zich niet meer voldoende op, terwijl er wel afbraak optreedt tijdens stormen. Dit sediment verdwijnt in de geulen.Door de zandhonger neemt het areaal en de droogvalduur van het intergetijdengebied af, dit heeft negatieve effecten voor de ecologie: het areaal droogvallende… Show more

“…In addition, creating large areas void of any living benthos typically offers opportunities to invasive species to expand their habitat. For example, at the Oesterdam sand nourishment high densities of the invasive manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum were observed a year after the nourishment (Boersema et al, 2018). The latter has also been clearly shown for hard engineering constructions in coastal waters, which can act as stepping stones facilitating invasions (Airoldi et al, 2005;Bulleri & Airoldi, 2005).…”
