Regel 1: Regel 1:
Reef building bivalves such as mussels and oysters provide many ecosystem services. Mussels are filter feeders that increase the water quality, stabilize shorelines and provide habitats for many other species. Recognition of the ecosystem services mussels provide has increased awareness of their usefulness and importance for ecosystem functioning. It has resulted into an increase in management activities to protect the still existing natural systems and even led to several attempts to restore lost mussel beds in certain places. However restoration of mussel beds has proven to be difficult. Many attempts were only partly successful or failed completely. In the summer of 2018 a large field experiment will start to test whether improved construction techniques may increase the restoration success of blue mussel beds in the Eastern Scheldt. 
Mean sea level rise (SLR) could increase by 1.5m-2.5m by 2100, which would see damage caused by coastal flooding in Europe increase from €1.25bn per annum currently to €961bn in just over 80 years (European Commission, 2018). Urban areas situated along the 2 Seas (NL, Belgium, France, UK) coastline are particularly vulnerable to extreme SLR (a combination of SLR, tide and storm surges). Coastal flood plans and policies focus predominantly on deploying traditional grey infrastructure/heavy engineering and ignore the use of nature-based solutions (NBS), despite the overwhelming evidence of their potential to reduce flood risk and provide multiple benefits. NBS are often not considered by policy-makers in detail due to the perceived risks around costs, potential for success, requirements for immediate protection/improvement and uncertainties regarding future change.
During this internship you will monitor the development of the restored mussel beds. Which means that you will survey the survival, growth and condition of the mussels and the development of the mussel beds as a whole. This information will contribute to our knowledge of mussel bed restoration which can be used to improve future restoration projects. 
 
'''Research type:''' field research, desk analysis
This project will focus on monitoring and evaluating a number of pilot Nature Based Solutions projects. What are the designs of these projects? What are their goals? Are they effective from a safety, ecology, and societal perspective? The Bankert Boulevard is an example of an NBS project part of this study but also some projects along the Belgian coast (e.g. Mariakerke sand nourishment) may be included.
