Conference 10 years of Sand Motor: programme available now
On the 1st of July we will present the results of 10 years of research on the Sand Motor.
10 years of Sand Motor: sign up for the congress
In 2011 we started a pilot project: the Sand Motor. An artificial sandbank, an important boost for innovative coastline maintenance and a perfect example of Building with Nature. Thanks to the influence of the wind and the sea currents, the Sand Motor has now grown into a beautiful nature reserve and recreational area. Its development is being closely followed and is receiving a great deal of international attention.
Ten years of research and special collaborations have resulted in an innovative way to maintain the coastal area, new possibilities for nature and visitors, and wealth of knowledge. A unique connection between nature, science and society. We will present the results of this project during the final conference on the 1st of July 2021. This event is marking 10 years of the Sand Motor and is part of the international Coastal Dynamics conference.
Programme details available now
