Eastern Scheldt (macro-tidal)
Context
Tide: macro • Slope: flat • Energy: high. Constraints: existing storm barrier infrastructure, marine ecology.
Intervention
Bio-engineered barrier enhancements + tidal energy integration + aquaculture zones. Adaptive management protocols.
Monitoring
Ecological sensors, energy output meters, aquaculture yield tracking, barrier performance analytics.
