Searching for the reef-building tubeworm Sabellaria spinulosa in the western Wadden Sea we found one, the third known in the Netherlands since 1955. But well, one worm doesn't make a reef; we lack natural Sabellaria reefs. View our data and download many underwater images: doi.org/10.1016/j.se....

A carcass of a 4.70 m male juvenile minke whale washed up in the Netherlands. It was moved into the dunes to leave it for decomposition, to study the related ecological processes, and to gain management experience in leaving a whale carcass in place. Results in Frontiers. doi.org/10.3389/fmar....

Saltation: the dancing, hopping, or leaping movement of particles. When the wind picks up after a couple of days of low winds, the sand grains on the beach are set in motion.

Today I met with the Advisory Committee of the OR ELSE project I'm leading. In this 5 year research project on #MarineEcology we study Operational Recommendations for Ecosystem-based Long-term Sand Extraction from the Dutch North Sea. Subscribe to our newsletter to keep informed: or-else.nl/en/.

Collected some blue mussels in the Wadden Sea today for use in a #MarineEcology student practical at Wageningen University later this week. We're going to look for parasites.

Last night, 22 November, was a wonderful evening in Rotterdam, awarding the 'Grote Maaskantprijs' by the mayor Carola Schouten. The prize is for design and (landscape) architecture and was awarded to the map makers of 'the Netherlands 2120' map and the movement that came from it. I'm proud!

Wie helpt ons -- #Scouts4Science -- met onderzoek!? We zijn op zoek naar Scoutinggroepen die ons willen helpen met het onderzoek naar de effectiviteit van het toffe kaartspel ‘Cranky Uncle's Rode Haringen’. Lees hier meer: www.scouting.nl/updates/help...

This is a Red-breasted Goose, a rare visitor in the Netherlands. Today, I was lucky to find one inside a group of hundreds of Barnacle Geese.

Looking for suitable growth sites for Sabellaria spinulosa tubeworms, we found beautiful artificial hard substrate reefs in the Dutch Wadden Sea. But the real thing would be a biogenic reef! Read about it in this online magazine of Wageningen University & Research. magazines.wur.nl/ko-magazine-....
