Description
TROPHOS aims at a better understanding of processes structuring the higher trophic levels in the North Sea. Results will serve in aspects of sustainable management for those areas on the Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS) of the North Sea, which fulfil the criteria for protection status in marine reserves. more

Database on densities of coastal- and seabirds on the Belgian Continental Shelf.
