Littoral musselbeds form a very positive addition to intertidal areas. However, due to overfishing, introduced, competing species and climate change these structures have dissapeared within the Eastern Scheldt. Reintroducing littoral musselbeds would give a couple valuable additions to the current landscape. But what is the most effective and efficient way of reintroduction? The 'Added value with Mussels' project looks into different strategies to find out what works best and what the effects of the musselbeds are. The goals of the project are:
- Create new, viable production locations for shellfish cultivation
- Create (alternative) methods that help stabilizing or maybe even decrease erosion rates in intertidal areas
- Adding natural value to intertidal areas to comply with the new Natura-2000 goals set by the Dutch government
The results will be gathered by performing large-scale field experiments in the Eastern Scheldt. Different methods will be tested and the results will be compared to find the most effective way of reintroducing littoral musselbeds.
