Abstract
COnstruction of an ecosystem model of the Schelde estuary in order to study the possible impact of different management strategies and to prepare a management plan of the estuary. This project, which is carried out by different universities and institutes consists of a monitoring part covering all major groups (plankton, benthos, avifauna, fish, littoral vegetation) and of more fundamental research of different major ecosytem processes zuch as the C, N and P cycles.
