Data are interpolated to a rectangular 2mx2m grid at the beach and shoreface and to a 5mx5m grid at deeper areas. Once all bathymetric grids are ready for every year a comparison of the datasets is carried out. Areas for which no overlap between datasets is found are left out of the analysis.

The volumes of sediment were calculated above an arbitrary ground level. Due to the lack of a continuous dataset for the complete area, the analysis is performed separately for the beach, for the foreshore and for the areas beyond this last. Results: − Rasters in ArcGIS. − Erosion velocity (rate) − Correlation Coefficient R2 that is considered as relevant only if R2>0.5. − Standard error of erosion rate. The confidence level for erosion and sedimentation is set at 95% Concept WL2010814-xxR_X_Quest4D 4 FORM: F-WL-PP10-2 Version 02 VALID AS FROM: 05/01/2009 Workshop "QUEST4D and Beyond": A discussion about erosion and sedimentation trends in the BCP 2.4 Results: general and local trends 2.4.1 Erosion and accretion patterns at the Belgian Coast The general trend indicates that erosion dominates over accretion when considering the complete study area as a unit. However, due to the complexity of the Belgian coast and the different uncertainty levels on the trends found for different subzones it is more meaningful to discuss the results for the different areas and features indentified. There AI/ Check reliability of 2001 and 2002 measurements (error on average is much smaller than error in the measurements). AI/ In order to know more about the error associated to the methodology used it is advisable to make a sensitivity analysis for a limited area and for a shorter period of time and see changes in the trends. 2.4.2 Zone analysis (must be completed with details of the trend analysis for every zone) Bank van Heist Formation and grow of the sand is apparent. A clear erosion trend is found directly downstream of this feature. De Haan An accretion line is identified and linked to the nourishment of the foreshore bar (feeder berm) done around year 95 foreshore bar (feeder berm) was done in front of Vlissegem, around 600 m from the HWL. AI/ Collect information and compare with results of the trend analysis. Zeebrugge In general, the erosion trend is found to be dominant for this area which includes the harbour of Zeebrugge and the surrounding area with navigation channels. There are two important erosion zones clearly indentified after the analysis: 1. Area directly east of the harbour next to the breakwaters and to the area of formation of the Bank van Heist. 2. North the navigation channel East of the Pas van het Zand a zone with unexplained strong erosion trend is found. 3. The limits of the navigation channel present some variations that can be related to the widening of the channel. Possible error or shift in position of the navigation channel as explanation for these changes is in principle discarded. The most likely hypothesis is that it has something to do with the dredging of the navigation channels. As expected there is also a strong accretion trend found for the Bank van Heist. FIGURE+description+comments There is a remarkable erosion are North-East the navigation channel and directly North of this last. AI/ Are there different datasets that are included in both studies for this area? AI/ Find report on morphological evolution of the Western Schelde Concept WL2010814-xxR_X_Quest4D 5 FORM: F-WL-PP10-2 Version 02 VALID AS FROM: 05/01/2009 Workshop "QUEST4D and Beyond": A discussion about erosion and sedimentation trends in the BCP Wenduine to Blankenberge This is an area with groins where the natural evolution is expected to be influenced by the different nourishments done during the study period. Midelkerke to Wenduine Indicators of a possible migration of the crest and east part of the Stroombank. Between Oostende and Wenduine there is a 9 km erosion area on the foreshore (feederline). The Stroombank seems to be affected by some changes that need to be further investigated. The area between Oostende and Nieuwpoort is not so influenced by human action as other zones. AI/ Check the migration hypothesis for the Stroombank by adding contour lines (bathymetry). In general, it is advisable to examine in detail the evolution of the Stroombank and also fo the Niuewpoort bank. Lombarzijde The evolution of the longitudinal bars south Lombarzijde becomes extremely apparent in the trends map. FIGURE+description+comments. uKoksijde A clear erosion trend is found for the narrow channel adjacent to the bank west of Koksijde. FIGURE+description+comments 2.4.3 Some comments on quality of the results and method accuracy One of the main issues is the determination of the accuracy of these results. Also, the link between the shoreface and the beach is not as good as desirable due to the different times and extension of the different surveys originating the data used for the analysis. To improve this it would be advisable to: Homogenisation of the datasets used with focus on the edge areas linking beach and shoreface: For this purpose the new bed model developed at the BMM for the study area could be very useful. Calibration of the datas ets and of the methodology itself: One of the possibilities to do that is using a Concept WL2010814-xxR_X_Quest4D 6 FORM: F-WL-PP10-2 Version 02 VALID AS FROM: 05/01/2009 Workshop "QUEST4D and Beyond": A discussion about erosion and sedimentation trends in the BCP specific dredge material disposal place as calibration point.

  • The “Ter Streep” a New Survey Vessel for the Belgian Conshelf
    International Hydrographic Review, Monaco, L X IV (l), January 1987 THE “TER STREEP” A NEW SURVEY VESSEL FOR THE BELGIAN CONSHELF by C. Van CAU W EN BERGHE (*) INTRODUCTION As the only survey vessel, P aster P ijp e of the Coastal Hydrographic Office, built in 1949, needed urgent replacement, the Belgian Ministry of Transport (Marine Department) placed an order on 2nd January 1984 for the new survey vessel Ter S treep (**) (Fig. 1) for the Ministry of Public Works, the authority responsible for the hydrographic offices of the coast and the river Scheldt. The delivery date was determined by contract 18 months later (excluding times of leave, periods of frost, etc.) so that on the 14th October 1985 the vessel was ready for essential operational use. In order to perform adequate comprehensive surveys in or near the Belgian continental shelf, a more modern type of survey vessel was designed by the Ministry of Transport in close cooperation with the Coastal Hydrographic Office in Ostend. The m/v Ter Streep was built at the N.V. Scheepswerven van Langerbrugge shipyard in Ghent, Belgium. DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND PRIORITIES Based on tasks to be performed, the Coastal Hydrographic Office in Ostend established the following essential criteria for the designers of the new vessel : (*) Dienst der Kust - Hydrografie, Administratief Centrum, Vrijhavenstraat 3 - 8400 Oostende - Belgium. (**) Where does the name T e r Streep come from ? “Testerep” or Ter Streep originally was an unprotected and desert island between Nieuwpoort and Ostend alongside the Flemish coast (Belgium). The first traces of its existence date from the 10th century and probably the birth of this stretch of land originated from the early mediaeval transgression of the North Sea (4th - 8th Century).

  • Naarzee Excursiegids Voor Het Secundair Onderwijs
    RS KOE naarZEE Excursiegids voor het secundair onderwijs Een overzicht van leermiddelen en activiteiten aan de kust rond de thema’s natuur, milieu, wetenschap en technologie www.koersnaarzee.be Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling 1 © VLIZ 2 KOERS naar ZEE EXCURSIEGIDS voor het SECUNDAIR ONDERWIJS Beste leerkracht, Wie denkt dat onze zee slechts als een kanttekening in de lessen aan bod kan komen, zit er goed naast. De zilte, elfde provincie en haar aanpalende kuststreek zijn namelijk van grote so- ciaaleconomische, maatschappelijke, landschappelijke en recreatieve waarde voor ons land! Het onderwijs krijgt de belangrijke rol toegedeeld om jongeren bewust te maken van dit be- lang. Klassen uit het basisonderwijs of uit de kustregio kennen al lang de traditie om naar de kust te trekken. De laatste jaren evenwel groeit de vraag van vakleerkrachten en scholen uit het binnenland naar informatie, lesmateriaal en excursies naar zee voor jongeren ouder dan 12 jaar. Tal van organisaties en belangrijke educatieve initiatieven zoals de ‘Week van de Zee’ spelen in op deze evolutie en breiden hun aanbod gestaag uit. Het zeethema biedt immers een waaier van mogelijkheden die zowel leerkracht als leerlingen uit de hogere graden zullen boeien en motiveren. De zee leent zich bovendien uitstekend tot een vak- en/of graadover- schrijdende aanpak. Met deze gids willen de Provincie West-Vlaanderen (dienst Natuur- en Milieueducatie - NME) en het Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee (VLIZ) het beschikbare aanbod wetenschaps-, techno- logie-, natuur- en milieueducatie in kaart brengen. Het overzicht, dat verre van volledig is, maakt de instellingen zichtbaar en helpt leerkrachten uit het secundair onderwijs op weg in hun zoektocht naar uitstapmogelijkheden en lesmateriaal over de zee.

  • The Case of the Belgian Coastal Area
    The Plan Journal 2 (2): 743-766, 2017 doi: 10.15274/tpj.2017.02.02.26 Waterscapes in Transformation: The Case of the Belgian Coastal Area Sis Pillen, Kris Scheerlinck, Erik Van Daele ABSTRACT - The socio-economic impact of nature in Belgian coastal landscapes on a regional scale is high due to their general attractiveness for visitors, their strongly developed tertiary service economy and other related sectors (tourism, residential, agriculture…). Due to climate changes however, these coastal landscapes and their required accessibility and continuous character are threatened by the unavoidable planned infrastructures (dikes, new connections, floodable areas, etc.) that will generate ruptures, frictions and additional transition spaces within the landscape. Flanders urgently needs to unfold policies and strategies to avoid or reduce the undesirable effects of the expected changes. Influential changes for the coastal zone will be sea level rising, increasing temperature, changing rainfall patterns, floods, fragmented ecological system, salinization, and reduced drainage capabilities to sea. A thoughtful planning policy forms the necessary key to a sustainable development. Policies and plans lead to the formulation of spatial proposals for mitigation and adaptation, to be executed by major infrastructural works planned for the next decades. Most of these infrastructures, conceived at a large scale, generate a different model of accessibility for the Flemish Coastal landscape. Keywords: accessibility, Belgian Coast, climate change, landscape resilience, waterscapes The aim of this research is to produce insights on how to improve access to the coastal landscapes by developing a case study situated on the Belgian Coast, the Uitkerkse Polders. This case study and the following exploration 743 The Plan Journal 2 (2): 743-766, 2017 - doi: 10.15274/tpj.2017.02.02.26 www.theplanjournal.com of spatial strategies to improve accessibility contribute to the discussion on maintaining or even improving the socio-economic impact of nature in this region.

Hoewel tennis een van ’s lands populairste sporten is, weten we weinig over zijn ontstaansgeschiedenis in België. Nochtans was tennis in zijn vroege periode zowel motor als spiegel van meerdere maatschappelijke evoluties, zoals de ontwikkeling van de vrijetijdseconomie, de urbanisering en de emancipatie van de vrouw … Over de geschiedenis van de tennissport aan de Vlaamse kust weten we zo mogelijk nog minder. Een populair werk over tennis in België vermeldt alleen Brussel en Antwerpen, maar negeert de kust volledig.1 Zelfs de ‘kustperiode’ van een top- speler als Paul de Borman komt niet aan bod. In dit artikel schetsen we de verspreiding van de tennissport aan de Belgische kust in de periode 1894-1914. Aan de hand van de tennisgeschiedenis van Bredene, Oostende, Middel- kerke en Westende tonen we aan dat de Vlaamse kust een epicentrum van de vroege Belgische tenniscultuur was. Vol- ledigheid streven we niet na, dit artikel is eerder een aanzet. We onderzoeken achtereenvolgens de initiatiefnemers van de tennisinfrastructuur in de hoger vernoemde badplaatsen en hun belang voor het toerisme. Daarvoor gebruiken we onder meer het schaars beschikbare beeldmateriaal, gaande van portretfotografie over souvenirfoto’s tot prentbriefkaarten.

    SEA-RELATED WORDS The origin of the names of sandbanks, channels and other ‘sea-related words’ Magda Devos, Roland Desnerck, Nancy Fockedey, Jan Haspeslagh, Willem Lanszweert, Jan Parmentier, Johan Termote, Tomas Termote, Dries Tys, Carlos Van Cauwenberghe, Arnout Zwaenepoel, Jan Seys Have you ever wondered what the origin of the toponym Trapegeer is, or how cod got its name? Or are you interested in the person behind Thornton Bank or the genesis of the maritime term ‘crow’s nest’? Then you’re in luck, since a team of experts explains the meaning of some of the most intriguing sea-related words in every issue of De Grote Rede. In this special issue of De Grote Rede, we focus on the etymology of the toponym Flanders and other place names from the front area of the First World War. Due to limited space, we had to make a selection from the extensive list of cities, towns and villages in the Belgian Westhoek area that were part of the war zone. Incase of places that are no (longer) independent municipalities, we always mention the amalgamated municipality of which they are part. Then we state a few attested forms of the place name, including the oldest one. This information was mainly extracted from the work by F. Debrabandere, M. Devos et al. (2010), De Vlaamse gemeentenamen, verklarend woordenboek. The etymological explanation is also based on this publication, to which we refer the reader for extensive bibliographical references. Some name forms are preceded by an asterisk (*) in the text. This is to indicate that the form in question is not attested as such in a historical source, but has been reconstructed by linguists from derived forms found in more recent language development stages.
