Regel 1: Regel 1:
Currently, dikes and foreshores are primarily designed from a civil engineering perspective. The main focus is on flood protection and water management. The Building for Nature approach aims at innovating the design of coastal protection structures in order to increase their nature values. Dikes with this type of design are called rich dikes, or rich revetments. These revetments can be of more interest to other users such as divers, fishermen or aquaculture.
The Netherlands have been building dikes to protect their country from flooding events for a long time. Although the province of Zeeland is currently well protected with dikes along its estuaries, these regularly need to be replaced or reinforced. In 2016 as part of the Buitendijks-project funded by the province of Zeeland several new breakwaters were placed in the Western Scheldt in order to protect the shore from erosion and increase the area of intertidal mudflats. Between the breakwaters, the sedimentation will be monitored. Furthermore, the added value to nature of the breakwaters will be monitored. During the minor you assess and report the sedimentation between the breakwaters and the development of seaweeds and sessile invertebrates on the breakwaters. Also you will be involved in the design of new breakwaters that aim to create a high biodiversity.
 
In Spring and Autumn 2014 concrete blocks with different sizes of pits (holes) on the surface were designed and placed at two field locations in the intertidal in the Eastern Scheldt. In Spring 2015 a dike section of 100m was built at Sint-Annaland where these blocks are compared with other revetment types. In this research you will monitor the changes in biodiversity and you will assess which block type performs better and why. Based on your analysis you provide advice on the design of new revetments.
