For five years, more than 20 researchers acquired new ecological knowledge about the subtidal nature of the Wadden Sea, an often understudied but important part of this ecosystem. The projects Wadden Mosaic (Waddenmozaïek) and..
Last week, 160 researchers and conservationists of European butterflies and moths met in the Netherlands to exchange latest insights on population trends and knowledge about threats and measures for protection. Although there are..
Nature-based solutions are gaining ground as effective and sustainable answers to societal challenges, such as water management, biodiversity restoration, and climate adaptation. Research shows that successful implementation..

The Asian clam has found its way to the Dutch Wadden Sea. This is shown by field researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ). On other locations, the Asian clam has shown to be potentially highly invasive in..
Dunes are considered to be essential for coastal protection. In countries like the Netherlands, where one third of the country is below sea-level, it is crucial to understand how they grow. Sand will play a role, of course, but..
The Netherlands is a delta, a country that exists by the grace of water. Yet only in 1957 a professional ecological research institute for fresh water was established: the Hydrobiological Institute, a precursor of NIOO-KNAW. In..
With a recent publication in the journal Scientific Data, NIOZ researchers have made the data from the SIBES research programme from 2008 to 2021 available to the community. In SIBES, all tidal flats in the Dutch Wadden Sea are..
The Dutch contributing partners of the international MiningImpact3 consortium have been awarded 1.4 million euros. The money will be used to study the long-term ecological impacts of deep-sea mining, as well as the legal and..
