Dutch coastal zone, directly off the beach and in the shallow waters

Fish taxonomy-related abundance per unit area of the bed; Zoobenthos taxonomy-related counts; Fish taxonomy-related counts

Salinity sensor; balances and scales; rulers; water temperature sensor; beam trawls; active fishing gear

On different locations alongside the Dutch coast sampling with small beam trawls and seines is carried out to study distribution and abundance of juvenile (flat)fish in the shallow coastal zone. The results can also be used to investigate the effects of sand suppletion on the ecosystem as well as to study the options for future sand suppletion that include increased safety as well as nature developments. Sampling is carried out from a vessel in the shallow coastal area, and has been carried out with trawls and seines directly from the beach.
