Description Methodology:

Data analysis, modelling and measuring

Research objective/question:

In a Ramsar site on Bonaire (Lac) Stinapa is executing a mangrove restoration project. They would like to understand the hydrology of the mangrove area after restoration. They have gathered longterm diver data of tidal levels before and after restoration which can be used for analysis and modelling. Based on previous research there is understanding of the ins- and outs of the system – we would like the student to assess the effect of the restoration measures.
