|Summary=The HZ University of Applied Sciences is exploring the opportunity to create and maintain multi-purpose intertidal mussel beds by active management. By means of experimental and comparative experiments, we will test a number of factors that could be used to improve the chances of establishing intertidal mussel beds, and potentially lead to their enhanced ecological and economical value as well as a positive effect on sediment stability.

In this experiment you will monitor the wave protection structures designed to facilitate the implementation of new mussel beds on the intertidal environment. It is going to be your task to monitor and evaluate the performance of the structure.
