- *Research on Marker Wadden*
- *Expedition Marker Wadden*
Several members of the CWE used the opportunity to visit Marker Wadden
on September 24. The creation of the Marker Wadden is an initiative of
Natuurmonumenten and is one of the most challenging wetland creation
projects going on in The Netherlands at the moment (see:
https://www.natuurmonumenten.nl/marker-wadden/het-project
<http://wetland-ecology.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c1d34904b3bdb93914145a6e2&id=6dcfa6af55&e=95cfb5cbe5>
).
*Research by several CWE partners*
*Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED)* from the
University of Amsterdam (info: Dr. Harm van der Geest,
H.G.vanderGeest at uva.nl)
Several projects were started in the last years, aiming to provide
quantitative insight in the drivers for productivity and food web structure
in lake Markermeer, together with partners as RWS, water authorities,
Deltares, Wageningen Environmental Research and Wageningen Marine
Research. A new PhD student will study the ecological effects of
obstructed fish migration. A new and fully equipped research vessel for
Markermeer research is expected to be launched before summer 2017.
*Consortium consisting of Utrecht University, Deltares, Alterra
Wageningen UR, TU Delft, TNO, IBED* (info: http://www.markerscience.com/
<http://wetland-ecology.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c1d34904b3bdb93914145a6e2&id=95229e36ac&e=95cfb5cbe5>
)
Two PhD students and a postdoc work at the Marker Wadden with a focus on
regime shifts within the context of alteration of fine sediment into clay
soil. The interplay of biological, chemical and physical interactions is
studied and there is a focus on risks in a governance setting for this
ecosystem design. The acquired scientific knowledge will be used to assess
which ecosystem services will evolve and how such systems should be managed.
*Consortium of Netherlands Institute of Ecology, University of Groningen
and Radboud University* (info: Dr. Liesbeth Bakker, l.bakker at nioo.knaw.nl
)
Two PhD students will study the development in ecosystem productivity
and trophic interactions in this newly created wetland. A bottom-up and
top-down approach will be used to study vegetation development and
settlement of foundation species, food web assembly and how waterbirds and
fish move between neighboring lakes and wetlands and thus import or export
nutrients.
- *Society of Wetland Scientists and the Ramsar convention will sign an
memorandum of understanding (MoU) in Faro*
SWS and the Ramsar Convention will enhance their cooperation by signing
a Memorandum of Understanding. This MoU will be signed by the leadership of
both organizations during the SWS Europe meeting in Faro, 4-6 May 2017

.
- *PhD defense Rob Fraaije*. On 31 Aug Rob Fraaije successfully defended
his thesis, titled "*Plants living on the edge: colonization processes
of aquatic and riparian vegetation along restored lowland streams*". His
thesis and thesis abstract are available online here
<http://wetland-ecology.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c1d34904b3bdb93914145a6e2&id=a4695e67d2&e=95cfb5cbe5>.
The
day preceding his defense, 30 Aug, the Ecology & Biodiversity group at
Utrecht University organized a well-attended symposium on "Stream valley
restoration: clearing the way for riparian vegetation". The program and
all presentation slides can be found here

Guest column: Lake Ohrid and its very last wetland Jos Verhoeven
(Universiteit Utrecht)
[back to top] <#m_4248160785279580682_contents>
In the late 1970s I enjoyed a spring holiday in Ohrid, part of Yugoslavia
at the time. There was a weekly flight from Amsterdam bringing mostly Dutch
tourists to this beautiful old town bordering the large, very deep lake
with the same name. We stayed in a small, very pleasant hotel just south of
the town, bordering the lake. The atmosphere was that guests could bring
their own wine that would then be kept under your name and served with
meals. It was a lively bunch of Dutch tourists staying there, some of them
interested in nature, others in swimming and sunbathing, others in the
beautiful Macedonian churches and their medieval wall paintings.

Joveski)
We did a little bit of everything. The town and the lake were so famous in
our country because the Dutch writer A. den Doolaard loved this area and
had pictured a number of his novels here, the most well-known example was
“De Bruiloft der Zeven Zigeuners”. It was very pleasant to be at the
lakeshore just outside the hotel and take in the spectacular scenery: the
lake with crystal-clear water, across on the other side the steep, black
mountains of Albania, a country that was a complete mystery at the time
where only a few lights were visible in the evenings. And then the town of
Ohrid to the right on the shore, with some beautiful churches in the
skyline. Great to go for a regular swim, to read the novel, which made you
curious to visit the various monasteries at different locations on the
lakeshore. We hitchhiked along the road to the south to the cloister Sveti
Naum and got a ride from a captain in the Yugoslav army. We had sort of a
conversation in German, where he talked about the tense situation with
Albania and Greece at the 3-country border very near Sveti Naum. He dropped
us there and warned us not to walk in a more southerly direction, where the
Albanian army would be in a status of alert. We enjoyed seeing the
monastery and its surroundings. We did read about the very special
characteristics of Lake Ohrid: it is the deepest lake of Europe and has had
a history of a million years without large disturbances, enabling a long,
continuous evolution. The high age and relatively isolated location have
resulted in the largest number of endemic species in a freshwater body in
Europe. Among them are several fish species, one of which was a salmonid
appearing several times on our plate in the hotel.
About a year ago, I was approached by a Spanish member of the Society of
Wetland Scientists (SWS) who had read an alarming article in “El Pais”
about a plan to destroy the very last wetland bordering Lake Ohrid. It
seemed appropriate that we would express our concern from the part of SWS.
I was brought into contact with the OhridSOS group, very active people who
are trying to stop major threats to Lake Ohrid and its immediate
environment. Members of that group have briefed me about the situation.
There are quite some long-term issues threatening the integrity of the lake
ecosystem but there was also an immediate threat: Studenchiste Wetland, the
last wetland on the shores of the lake, was planned to be drained and
turned into a mass tourism resort. There is also a plan for a large marina
just where the wetland borders the lake. I have discussed the issue with
the SWS leadership and we have come into action: earlier this year we have
written letters to express our major concern to the Mayor of Ohrid, the
Macedonian minister of the environment and several other authorities in the
region. At the same time we have encouraged members of the OhridSOS group
to write a scientific article about the current status of the Studenchiste
Wetland, which has materialized in a contribution to the journal Wetland
Science and Practice (Apostolova et al. 2016
<http://wetland-ecology.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c1d34904b3bdb93914145a6e2&id=3dfc801e0d&e=95cfb5cbe5>).
We also invited two members of the group to attend the SWS Europe meeting
in Potsdam in May, where Dr. Apostolova presented a highlight about the
wetland and the lake. Although there were no answers to our letters to the
authorities, the attendance of the OhridSOS
<http://wetland-ecology.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c1d34904b3bdb93914145a6e2&id=76427d84d0&e=95cfb5cbe5>
members in Potsdam led to a news article in the major Macedonian national
newspaper.
There are further initiatives which might hopefully lead to a better status
of protection of the lake and the wetland. It is investigated whether Lake
Ohrid and Studenchiste can be nominated for a site of International
importance under the Ramsar convention. There is interest from the side of
Albania to strengthen the UNESCO World heritage status of the lake jointly
with Macedonia. Studenchiste is the last wetland remaining. Some features
of its structure and functioning are known but more work is needed. For the
far future, it is quite probable that there will be the potential to
restore part of the wetlands on the lakeshore and the lake’s catchment that
have already been lost. In order to be able to do that properly, it is of
utmost importance that Studenchiste remains in place as a model from where
scientific information can be gathered to restore other wetlands in a
proper way. It is my hope that OhridSOS will be successful in the end. Then
finally, if you are looking for a magnificent jewel for a wonderful
ecotouristic holiday, I can recommend Ohrid. I will definitely take another
look there soon.
