Natural capital and harbor developments
Project summary
The Western Scheldt is one of the busiest shipping lines in Europe and provides access to ports in Antwerp, Genth, Terneuzen en Vlissingen. The port activities continue to grow. As a consequence, spatial claims and dredging activities cause pressure on the natural capital of the estuary and require compensation. In port Vlissingen-east, for instance, an extension of quays will take place and will be combined with a nature development in the Schorerpolder next to the port. In Living lab Schorerpolder stakeholders will develop alternatives in area layout and share ideas about the role of ecosystem services.
