After defaunation, used to mimic the effect of sand nourishment, some areas will be ‘primed’, by adding a known-density of specific benthos species or directly by dumping fresh sediment on top. This project will investigate the potential facilitative effect of such techniques for benthic community recovery by comparing them. The student will actively participate in fieldwork and analyse benthos samples in the laboratory.
