PLASTIC MANAGEMENT and DEVELOPMENT on ISLANDS Research Project \ Source: Frerck, n.d. PLASTIC MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT ON ISLANDS Research Project Nelle Kloosterboer IVM Supervisors: dr. P.J.H. van Beukering & H. Dijkstra Abstract The plastic soup is caused by large consumption and improper waste management of plastics worldwide. A global change in plastic management is needed to counter further growth of this problem. Many studies have been done on improving plastic management in large countries and regions, but islands have often been overlooked. Additionally, plastic pollution often ends up on the shorelines of islands, making sustainable plastic management a necessity on islands. This study investigates plastic management measures that contribute most effectively to sustainable plastic management and development on Texel and Sint Maarten. Firstly, the West Frisian Islands and the Dutch Caribbean Islands are analysed according to the island characteristics that influence the local plastic management system. Secondly, Material Flow Analyses of plastics are conducted for the West Frisian Islands and the Dutch Caribbean Islands to get an overview of the plastic product, waste, and pollution flows and discover specific trends surrounding plastics on the islands. Thirdly, Scenario Analyses are presented for the two case studies Texel and Sint Maarten, which show potential pathways towards sustainable plastic management on these islands. The results show that reducing plastic consumption is a slightly more effective strategy to improve sustainable plastic management and development than managing plastic waste and pollution. Furthermore, the methods utilized in this study have shown to be innovative and effective in improving plastic management systems on islands. Still, additional research is needed on macro- and microplastic flows, measures, and their impacts on islands worldwide to significantly contribute in reducing the plastic soup. 2 Table of Content Abstract ..............................................................................................................................................2 1.

Introduction The hydro- and morphodynamic processes of the Wadden Sea form the foundation for the ecological, cultural and economic development of the area. Its extraordinary ecosystems, its physical and geographical values and being an outstanding example of representing major stages of the earth’s history are factors why the Wadden Sea received a World Heritage area qualification (UNESCO, 2016). During its existence, the Wadden Sea has been a dynamic tidal system in which the geomorphology of the landscape continuously changed. Driving factors of the morphological changes have been: Holocene sea-level rise, geometry of the Pleistocene surface, development of accommodation space for sedimentation, sediment transport mechanisms (tides and wind) and, the relatively recent, strong human interference in the landscape. In this report new insights into the morphology of the trilateral Wadden Sea gained since the Quality Status Report (QSR) in 2009 (Wiersma et al., 2009) are discussed. After a summary of the Holocene development (sub-section 2.1), the sand-sharing inlet system approach as a building block for understanding the morhodynamic functioning of the system with a special emphasis on the backbarrier (sub-section 2.2) is discussed, followed by other parts of the inlet-system.

  • Shipmasters from the West Frisian Islands in Baltic Shipping, 1737–1800
    Chapter 10 Shipmasters from the West Frisian Islands in Baltic Shipping, 1737–1800 Maarten Draper and Jerem van Duijl 1 Introduction The people of the West Frisian Islands, also known as the Dutch Wadden Islands, have a long and rich maritime past. Since their settlement on the islands, the inhabitants of Texel, Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland and Schiermonnikoog have turned to the sea for a living. In local historiography, it is traditionally stressed that most inhabitants had a tough life working in the agricultural sec- tor, which was plagued all too often by coastal flooding and storms.1 Small- scale fishing was therefore an indispensable part of the local economy.2 Many of these farmers and fishermen also found part-time employment as seamen to add to their income; others were fully employed in the maritime sector.3 During the sixteenth century, the mariners of these islands facilitated and benefitted from the rise of Amsterdam as trade hub, and in the subsequent period, which is known as the ‘Dutch Golden Age’, the merchant marine of the West Frisian Islands thrived thanks to its connection to the vibrant metropolis on the banks of the Amstel.4 The West Frisian Islands were positioned con- veniently on important shipping routes connecting Amsterdam to the North Sea. The shipmasters from these islands profited from this advantage by pro- viding important services to the Dutch whaling industry and the Dutch Baltic trade, especially in the grain trade, commonly referred to as “the mother of all trades”.5 During the eighteenth century, the Dutch Republic lost its dominant position in international trade.
