Current Challenges in Coastal Management in the Netherlands: Examples of Pilot Projects
Abstract
A need for upscaling of sand nourishments to guarantee sustainable conditions for safety against flooding and preservation of coastal functions, combined with the need to enhance an integrated coastal zone management in the Netherlands, has initiated a number of pilot experiments. The management background and the approach leading to the pilots are illustrated. Central to the approach is a connection between large scale requirements and small scale needs, applying a concept of Building-with-Nature. The three pilots illustrate different applications; two for mega-scale nourishments and one for sand mining. Monitoring of the pilots must reveal the effectiveness of the designs; evaluation of the approach to connect large- and small scales, must indicate its wider applicability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
