Waternet wants to test an ecosystem approach for controlling invasive crayfish in the Molenpolder. The approach focuses on reducing phosphorus loading, stimulating natural predation by fish and grebes, and the restoration of submerse and emerse vegetation and structures. By combining these measures, Waternet hopes to reduce the negative effects of crayfish on biodiversity, WFD targets, and Natura2000 areas. The tender concerns a service contract in which a party with expertise in ecological water management must implement, monitor, and report on the approach in practice.

Invasive crayfish are a threat to biodiversity, WFD, and Natura2000 targets. The crayfish clip and eat aquatic plants, cloud the water with their burrowing behavior, and eat invertebrates and amphibian larvae. At high densities, crayfish can have a major negative impact on the biological functioning of surface waters. Furthermore, some burrowing species cause mechanical damage to banks. In this way, crayfish hinder the achievement of WFD and Natura2000 targets. An ecosystem approach to controlling crayfish has been developed for the Molenpolder, which globally consists of: further reduction of
