TL;DR: The abundance of plastics in stomachs of northern fulmars from the North Sea is used in the OSPAR Ecological Quality Objective (EcoQO) for marine litter and is now also used as an indicator for Good Environmental Status in the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive.

Beach nourishment: an ecologically sound coastal defence alternative? A review
Jeroen Speybroeck,Dries Bonte,Wouter Courtens,T. Gheskiere,Patrick Grootaert,Jean-Pierre Maelfait,M. Mathys,Sam Provoost,Koen Sabbe,Eric Stienen,V. Van Lancker,Magda Vincx,Steven Degraer +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, negative, ecosystem-component specific effects of beach nourishment dominate in the short to medium term, with the size of the impact being determined by activities during the construction phase, the quality and quantity of the nourishment sand, the timing, place and size of a proJect, and the nutrition technique and strategy applied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of wind turbines on birds in Zeebrugge (Belgium)
Joris Everaert,Eric Stienen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the impact of wind turbines on birds at the eastern port breakwater in Zeebrugge, Belgium, with special attention to the nearby breeding colony of Common Tern Sterna hirundo, Sandwich Terns Sterna sandvicensis and little terns albifrons.

Reflections of a specialist : Patterns in food provisioning and foraging conditions in sandwich terns Sterna sandvicensis
Eric Stienen,P.W.M. van Beers,A. Brenninkmeijer,J.M.P.M. Habraken,M.H.J.E. Raaijmakers,P.G.M. van Tienen +5 more
TL;DR: Highly specialised piscivorous seabirds, like Sandwich Terns Sterna sandvicensis, have limited capacity to switch to alternative prey species when the availability of a particular prey species is low, so variations in the diet of such species are likely to reflect fluctuations in food availability.
