Degree of synergistic effects and conflicts according to Natura 2000 aims
The sandbars are located within bird and habitat directive areas (zone “Western Scheldt (Westerschelde) and Saeftinghe”, HD code NL9803061 and BD code NL9802026). For this measure, a small positive effect on the quality of the estuary (habitat type 1130) is expected (Plancke et al. 2008). Also a small positive effect is expected for some foraging birds.| CO | Specification | Effect? | Short explanation | ||||
| - | 0 | + | |||||
| HD: estuary habitat (1130) | X | More habitat diversity, especially more low dynamic habitat | |||||
| BD: non-breeding birds (with conservation objective) | Common Shelduck (Tadorna tadorna) | X | Positive effect from the relocation strategy | ||||
| Great Ringed Plover (Charadrius hiaticula) | X | Small positive effect, not significant | |||||
| Dunlin (Calidris alpine) | X | Small positive effect, not significant | |||||
| Common Greenshank (Tringa nebularia) | X | Small positive effect, not significant | |||||
| Red Knot (Calidris canutus) | X | Positive effect from the relocation strategy | |||||
| Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica) | X | Positive effect from the relocation strategy | |||||
| Common Redshank (Tringa tetanus) | X | Small positive effect, not significant | |||||
| European Curlew (Numenius arquata) | X | Positive effect from the relocation strategy | |||||
| Grey Plover (Pluvialis squatarola) | X | Positive effect from the relocation strategy | |||||
| Spotted Redshank (Tringa erythropus) | X | Small positive effect, not significant | |||||
