Degree of synergistic effects and conflicts according to uses

No conflicts were observed. The relocation location was situated in an area that was already licenced for relocation activities. However, this pilot project could not have been executed without the permission of the licensing authority who granted the use of a pontoon for relocation of dredged material. This project was integrated in the annual maintenance dredging activities. At a larger scale, this measure could give the possibility to combine dredging and port development with habitat creation and nature conservation.
