Citizen science on Marine Litter: Combining Research and Action!
Since 2018 HZ Green Office is organising clean up events at the beaches and harbours in Vlissingen, in collaboration with the Municipality of Vlissingen and “Doe Mee, Verlos de Zee!”. Together with Rijkwaterstaat, also integrated monitoring is carried out of the marine litter distribution on the coasts of the Eastern and Western Scheldt. In this way we participate in scientific research and at the same time contribute to efforts to keep our local beaches clean.
In 2019 we monitored marine litter five beach locations in Zeeland and tested different monitoring methods. The outcome of this research in 2019 can be read in this report :USING CITIZEN SCIENCE IN MONITORING PLASTIC DEBRIS ON BEACHES. Read the story that Janine Vink, student journalism from Utrecht University, wrote about one of these cleaning and monitoring events.
One year later, we are building upon this research; in collaboration with Delta management and Rijkswaterstaat, the 5 locations that were studied in 2019, are again monitored during the World Cleanup Day on 19 Sep 2020.
Commissioned by the municipality of Vlissingen, we are currently also monitoring the litter found in De Binnenhaven. For this, cleanups and monitoring activities are organised on a bi-weekly basis. A diverse group of students from different study programmes as well as citizens are participating in these events.
Join us!
Everyone is welcome to join us! Students can link the cleanups to HZ Personality/ free credits
Clean-ups and monitoring sessions are organized every other week. To always be up to date about the weekly clean-ups, visit the HZ Green Office Instagram or the HZ Green Office Facebook page.
You don’t need to bring anything to participate, but dress up warm enough! The clean-ups, together with other Green Office activities, are a chance to gain HZ Personality (or FCC) credits while connecting with students from other study programmes, participate in an outdoor activity and making a step towards a clean and circular economy.
This initiative is based on volunteers, so also non-student volunteers are welcome to join our efforts!

Doe Mee Verlos de Zee Vlissingen
HZ Green Office is part of a multi-stakeholder initiative with the aim to keep the waters in and around Vlissingen clean. Different stakeholders participate in this initiative, such as Waterschap Scheldestromen, gemeente Vlissingen, the fishery industry ("de Vismijn"), Reclassering, politie, rowing club De Honte, and Doe Mee Verlos de Zee Vlissingen.
On a monthly basis, local stakeholders have come together to discuss strategies and actions taken to minimize the waste on the beaches, de Binnenhaven and in and around the Canal. The minutes of these meetings (in Dutch) can be found here: Verslagen multi-stakeholder overleg afval in Binnenhaven.
These meetings have resulted in a Project Plan: Project plan Concept 7 jan 2020
