Abstract

In 1979 the Environment Research Division of the Delta Service of the Dutch Department of Public Works and Waterways instructed Bureau Waardenburg to investigate the distribution of biocenoses on and near hard substrates in the Eastern Scheldt and Lake Grevelingen. The instruction was issued in connection with the progress of the so-called ‘Delta Works’, a large engineering project aiming at a maximal protection of the southwest Netherlands against stormfloods. In this project dykes are made higher, some estuaries have been closed off from the sea, and the Eastern Scheldt area will be protected by means of a storm surge barrier.
