Samenvatting

This project explores touristic involvement in the foreshore area of the Netherlands. Current industrial activities at sea all have their separate zones and no go-zones. By combining tourism activities and nature improvement in the estuary of the Haringvliet new benefits for the North Sea and the Netherlands arise. The inclusion of tourism in the conservation and development of the coastal zone will make the tourist part of the system. A tourist resort made of old scrapyard shipping facilities are assembled together into a productive machine that enhances the development of nature. Waste of tourists will be re-used in different development strategies. It will be used for algae production and therefore biofuel. It will be used as well to develop phytoplankton which is at the beginning of the food chain in the seawater ecosystem. Every new element on the dock has its function, both for tourist and for the seaweed waste machine to do its job. The seaweed farming process will be a year-round activity in the dock for new eco farmers
