Underwater in the Vinkeveense Plassen

Stage 1

This is what you can expect

Rob, you are a guest speaker at Duikvaker on February 2nd at 11:00. What can I expect from your presentation?
I try to outline the origin of the Vinkeveense Plassen and the entire ecosystem and food web. I also give a look into the future. What do I think will change, now that the zoning plan Vinkeveense Plassen will soon be adopted. What can we as divers see in future plans and what threats are still lurking for divers, but also for the animals and plants that live in the Vinkeveense Plassen.
