Our programme
An informative afternoon with a surprisingly spectacular finale!
What can you experience here?
We’re setting up our little beach on Lauwersmeer within the welcoming grounds of Siblu Family Parks, surrounding the three projects. This will give you a clear overview of:
- Our efforts to realise the most sustainable reinforced dyke the Netherlands realise a stretch of the Wadden Sea coast that is several kilometers long;
- Our goal is to return increasingly cleaner and healthier water safely to surface water bodies after the treatment process;
- How a large part of the province is becoming more climate-resilient by ensuring that we will be able to manage increasing amounts of water more frequently in the future.
- The importance of a healthy habitat for fish and their annual migration to and from the sea.
