About<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Mirnserklif is located along the Frisian IJsselmeer coast, east of the city of Stavoren in the northern parts of the Netherlands. It is connected to the nature area \u2018Mokkebank\u2019 which is managed by the nature protection association \u2018It Fryske Gea\u2019. In 1993, four undefended (e.g. not protected by any artificial structure) sand bars were constructed. In total, 120,000 m3 sand was replaced.The height of the sand bars varied from 0,20 m +NAP to 0,20 m \u2013NAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main goal of the project was to create foraging, resting and nesting habitat for birds dependent on reed and marshes by extension of the marshland. As this project was executed a little over a decade ago, the case Mirnserklif serves as a historical case from which lessons can be learned. View pilot location<\/a> in a larger map.
