Due to the major declines of seagrasses worldwide, there is an urgent need for effective
restoration methods and strategies. In the Dutch Wadden Sea, intertidal seagrass restoration …

Shore nourishment is considered an effective soft coastal protection measure for sandy
shorelines. However, sand demand and costs are high, especially as nourishment has to be …

Environmental management in coastal ecosystems has been challenged by the complex
cumulative effects that occur when many small issues result in large ecological shifts …

Zostera marina is the dominant seagrass species in the Northern Hemisphere where it
