Broadening of the Shipdonk channel By Ine Decuypere, Josefien De Munck, Ann-Sophie Monserez, Charlotte Slabbinck, Dagmar Thielen, Olivia Vaes, Anneleen Goossens, Eva Degraeuwe, Elise Wirix Roseline Spriet en Lisa Huinen

 2 small channels, next to each other  Named by: Shipdonk channel (Stinker) Leopold channel (Blinker)  Too small and too undeep for big seaships   They want to broaden the Shipdonk channel (not the leopold channel) What’s the problem?

 Ca. 630 million euros (It’s just a fraction of the price!)  187 homes are threatened with expropriation  Others are facing a weakening of their land  Trees, water birds, agricultural land and open spaces will be lost Facts and Consequences

 Catering and tourism sector will go down  Increased risk of flooding and floods  In dry and warm summers there will be not enough water to fill the wide channel  Conclusion: The unique atmosphere and the historic landscape will be gone. Facts and Consequences

 ‘estuary shipping’  This means that barges will be converted into seaworthy ships to sail along the coast to other ports. Alternatives

Pro’sContra’s More jobs Worsen already struggling economy Improves quality of life, both for locals and visitors Negative ecological side effects (for example, quality of ground water) Innovating for our economy Not needed for import/export infrastructure Backed by thorough research Costs not “that” high Already planned; just needs a ‘yes’ vote
