We are pleased to announce the ECSA Local Meeting 2025, focusing on "Estuarine Restoration: From Theory to Practice," to be held in Antwerp, Belgium from May 19-23, 2025.
This dynamic conference will bring together scientists, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders from across disciplines to share cutting-edge research, address current challenges, and collaborate on innovative approaches to estuarine restoration.
Conference Highlights:
Inspiring keynote presentations from leading experts in the field
Engaging poster sessions showcasing the latest research and projects
Unique hands-on excursions to explore real-life examples of successful estuarine restoration initiatives
What sets this conference apart is the focus on field experience, with the program specifically designed around practical excursions that allow participants to witness firsthand the implementation and outcomes of estuarine restoration projects.
Join us in Antwerp for this exceptional opportunity to network with peers, gain practical insights, and contribute to advancing the field of estuarine restoration.
Join us for the presentation 'Improving groundwater dynamics: a crucial factor for successful tidal marsh restoration' . Between 10:00 and 10:15.
Presentation
Thursday, May 22nd
Presentation at 12 AM
Join us for the presentation 'iFLUX: an innovative method to measure groundwater flow in newly restored tidal marsh areas'. Between 12:00 and 12:15.
EXCURSION
Friday, May 23nd
Bankbusters Excursion
In the brackish part of the Schelde estuary, the largest tidal marshes can be found. You will visit the 3500 ha marsh ‘Verdronken land van Saeftinge’ and the adjacent ‘Hedwige-Prosperpolder’. The latter is a 450 ha managed realignment site, created in 2021, and intensively monitored nowadays. A bit more upstream, in the harbor area, only small fringing marshes are left. These marshes are often subjected to severe lateral erosion due to the high hydrodynamics they are exposed to. The Bankbusters research project aims to restore such an eroding bank and create a functional marsh providing several ecosystem services. In this excursion you will visit all of these locations.
Let's meet at ECSA
Hope to meet you there!
