Nature Restoration Measure 252 - Hooge Platen Westerschelde
The Hooge Platen is a 1,800-hectare Natura 2000 area in the Westerschelde, consisting of mud and sandflats. During high tide, almost the entire area is submerged, except for De Bol. The project focuses on strengthening the natural function by preserving and expanding breeding sites for coastal birds. To achieve this, a final design must be developed into an executive design. The approach is a soft solution via sand nourishment: a sand motor for De Bol, and an elevation for the Hooge Springer that remains above water even during high tide. The assignment requires a technical design, construction planning, environmental impact assessment, and compliance with Natura 2000 regulations.
