Ecological design advice for areas included in the updated Sigma Plan

Within the framework of the updated Sigma Plan, several areas are acquired and will be set up as safety and/or nature areas. The contractors (De Vlaamse Waterweg nv and the Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos) want to see the areas optimally designed in accordance with the proposed nature objectives. These objectives have been confirmed by the Flemish government in the Most Desired Alternative and integrated into the conservation objectives of the Zeeschelde.
As one of the partners, INBO is responsible for drawing up the integrated development plan for the scientific support for the preparation of the ecological vision, for drawing up an (ecohydrological) design advice and guards the set nature objectives (IHD review) for wetland and land reclamation projects.
