Walsoorden pilot part A (2004): relocation of dredged sediment to a shallow water area at the edge of the Walsoorden sandbar

Effectiveness according to development targets of measure

Overall, this pilot test could be regarded as both a morphological and ecological success. The morphological evolutions were in agreement with the predictions of the feasibility study. Hence, a small shallow water area is created as a consequence of the relocation test. None of the results from the ecological monitoring indicated that the in situ relocation test was responsible for a significant change in ongoing trends. The ecological evolutions of this in situ test also confirmed the feasibility of the proposed relocation strategy.
