Researchers make dataset on tidal flats of entire Wadden Sea available

With a recent publication, NIOZ researchers have made the data from the SIBES research program from 2008 to 2021 available to the community. In SIBES, all tidal flats in the Dutch Wadden Sea are sampled annually for biomass and sediment characteristics. "Thanks to this long-time series and the complete coverage of the Wadden Sea, SIBES offers a wealth of information that will provide new insights for science and management," says SIBES scientific coordinator Allert Bijleveld from NIOZ.
