Degree of synergistic effects and conflicts according to WFD aims

The creation of the groynes at the intertidal marsh near Waarde (mesohaline zone) was a restoration measure that contributed to tackle the loss of riparian zones. By stopping the erosion the intertidal marsh was preserved. Hence, this measure was to a great extent suitable to reach this WFD aim to stop loss and degradation of intertidal habitat.
