Samenvatting (Dutch description)

Tiengemeten, restoration of freshwater tidal area in the Haringvliet estuary, the Netherlands (10GEMETEN)Tiengemeten is an island in the Haringvliet estuary in the Dutch Rhine-Maas Delta. As a result of the closure of the Haringvliet (NL) in 1970, the tidal rise and fall in the estuary is now severely limited, with serious consequences for the composition of vegetation and fauna in the Haringvliet. The surface area of the intertidal area with a daily ebb and flood has been greatly reduced, with a consequent sharp decline in the ecological features of the Haringvliet.
