Transport of Fish Larvae in the Southern North Sea. Impacts of Maasvlakte 2 on the Wadden Sea and North Sea coastal zone. Track 1: Detailed modelling research. Part IV: Fish Larvae. Baseline study MEP Maasvlakte 2. Lot 3b: Fish Larvae

An investigation was carried out into the possible effects of the Maasvlakte 2 land reclamation project on the transport of herring, plaice and sole larvae in the southern North Sea. Specifically, the impact of the land reclamation on the delivery of larvae into the Wadden Sea (a Natura 2000 site protected by the European Birds’ and Habitats Directives) was investigated.
