Geographical area : several sites scattered over the Schelde estuary, including the polyhaline, mesohaline, oligohaline and freshwater tidal zone of the estuary (both subtidal and intertidal)
Parameters : Abundance, biomass and population structure/dynamics of macrobenthic species and a characterisation of the abiotic environment (depth, sediment characteristics, salinity, etc.; at some locations also concentrations of pollutants)
