Marine research at Aquatic Ecology and Water Quality Management Group
At AEW we have many projects involving the marine ecosystem. The two videos below give a good impression of the kind of subjects we study.

- Anja Cervencl
- Maarten de Jong The ecological effects of deep sand extraction on the Dutch continental shelf. Implications for future extraction
- Arno Kangeri
- Pascalle Jacobs
- Marjolein Post
- Fokje Schaafsma The living resources of the polar ocean
- Didier de Bakker
Marin van Regteren Sediment for salt marshes: the ecological aspects of a Mud Motor
Wolf Mooij:
