3. SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES
ILVO:KH
During the sampling campaigns of ILVO:KH, the quality of the marine environment of the Belgian Continental Shelf is
monitored, in the framework of different international conventions (OSPAR, JAMP, CEMP, ICES) and mandated by
several governmental and private institutions. More specifically, the biological, chemical and biochemical effects of
several anthropogenic activities on the benthic ecosystem are investigated.
The ecological program of ILVO:KH comprises several parts (Annexes 1 & 2). Within the biological part, the macro‐
endobenthos, epibenthos and demersal fish fauna of the BCS are investigated. Secondly, the occurrence of external
fish diseases and parasites, and the general health status will be evaluated in fish. Within the chemical part,
concentrations and trends in heavy metals, PCBs, OCPs and PAKs in the sediment and in biota are studied. Next to
this, the grain‐size distribution, mud concentration and TOC of the sediment are analysed, the lipid content of biota is
analysed while temperature and salinity in the water column are measured.
Besides the continuous and extended monitoring programs on the sand extraction zones and the dredge dumping
sites, several epibenthos/fish samples will be taken with respect to the different windmill concessions (in close
collaboration with the sector, taking into account all safety procedures).
Plastic marine litter will be collected for the assessment of the chemical and microbial load. Several biota samples are
collected for assessment of ingested litter and microplastics.
SCK•CEN:LS
Fish samples are taken from 15 beam trawl samples (from the ILVO:KH program), to supervise the radiological
influence of aquatic releases from foreign nuclear sites on the marine environment as determined by national and
international commitments.
Radiological monitoring on the Belgian part of the North Sea in the frame of national and international obligations.
Survey in the vicinity of the Franco‐Belgian border; influence of aquatic releases from foreign nuclear sites on the
marine environment; influence on the food chain. Radioactivity measurements on 25 fishes, 20 water samples
(five areas, four times a year) and 20 sediment samples (five areas, four times a year). Measurements: alpha
spectrometry (fish), gamma spectrometry (fish, water and sediment), alpha‐ and beta‐activity, K‐40 (water).
Programme in the frame of the Belgian Federal Agency of Nuclear Control. (FANC). Only the fish samples are taken
during this campaign.
CSS:KD
Implementation of the continuous investigation laid down in section 3, §2, subsection 3, of the law of June 13th 1969,
concerning the exploration and exploitation of non living resources on the Belgian Continental Shelf, and the
concession decisions.
The follow up of the repercussions of the sand extraction on the stability of the sand banks en surrounding area in the
exploitation zones, in order to formulate policies concerning the exploitation in the concession zones on a scientific
base. The sediments of the Belgian continental shelf will be investigated in order to:
1. Establish the impact of sand extraction on the sand budget and seabed sediments.
2. Survey the sand winning sites to detect significant changes of the seabed sediments and the morphology of the
seabed and sand banks in order to guarantee the availability of sand to extract in the future.
DGMR:OL
MRN09 & MRN10 – Detection and classification of mines using high resolution SAS images
Those projects aim to determine the limits for the detection and classification of seabed objects, in particular mines.
In the frame of the Long Term Critical Requirement 21 (Fast detection and neutralization of a minefield) and following
the development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), it is necessary to develop classification procedures. This
work will focus on two points: first, the study of synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) images to validate SAS image
processing algorithms, which will be developed; second, the study of magnetometer data to detect sea‐bottom
targets. Data (high resolution SAS images and magnetometer data) will be collected using the available equipment
OD NATURE is an operational directorate of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences 6
(modern mine hunters and sensors from the Mine Warfare Data Center) during the measurement campaigns that will
be planned in collaboration with the study of ML.
DGMR:ML
Collection of bathymetric seabed information of the Belgian EEZ with the use of the systems of project MRN09,
MRN010 and multi beam (MBES) surveys in areas with priority 1 for the Naval Mine Warfare Mission Support Center.
Meanwhile fine tuning of software and development of procedures for use of the systems of the Mine Warfare Data
Center (MWDC) is done. Most of our clients, Belgian and Dutch minehunters as well as our NATO partners, exercise in
these areas. Therefore the intention is to procure a picture of all the possible items which can be encountered within
these waters. The information is also used to produce AML’s.
KMDA:PJ
Collection of living fishes and invertebrates to restock/complete the existing aquarium collection of the Antwerp Zoo.
OD NATURE‐AUMS
The AUMS (Autonomous Underway Measurement System) project is inspired by the success of similar systems
deployed on various ships of opportunity in the framework of the European Union FerryBox project
(www.ferrybox.org). The instrumentation will greatly enhance the continuous oceanographic measurements made by
RV Belgica by taking advantage of the significant technological improvements since the design of the existing (salinity,
temperature, fluorescence) systems. In particular, many new parameters can now be measured continuously
including important ecosystem parameters such as nitrate, ammonia, silicate, dissolved oxygen and CO2, turbidity,
alkalinity and phytoplankton pigments. In addition, the new equipment allows automatic acquisition and preservation
of water samples, rendering RV Belgica operations significantly more efficient by reducing onboard human resources.
Data will be available in near real‐time via OD Nature’s public web site and following quality control, from the Belgian
Marine Data Centre.
ESA
For the European Space Agency continuous GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite system) data is autonomously acquired
in the maritime environment for performance evaluation under different conditions.

5. OPERATIONAL COURSE
All times are given in local time. All coordinates in WGS84. Tentative program; priority or observations may change according to tidal and weather conditions and/or technical constraints. Throughout the campaign, measurements are made with the AUMS system.
Monday 23/09/2013
08h30‐09h30 Embarkation of personnel DGMR + ILVO (2 persons) 10h30: recording/tests with shadow during day time (place to be decided by DGMR)
multibeam during evening/night time (place to be decided by DGMR)
The operational course will be established daily by ILVO in agreement with the commanding officer and the other scientific teams.
ILVO:KH
Biological samples may only be collected between sunrise and sunset to minimize the variation due to the day‐night
rhythm of many benthic organisms (both vertebrates and invertebrates). Samples for the chemical analyses can be
taken at night‐time, although it is aimed for a complete sampling during daytime for ILVO.
All coordinates are placed in one TRANSAS layer by ILVO. This layer will be updated by ILVO prior to departure.
An 8 metre beam trawl and a rinsing/sieving machine are used for the epibenthos and the demersal fish fauna, a Van
Veen grab and 1�mm (and 0.5�mm) sieve and sieving table for the sediment and the macro‐endobenthos, a CTD for
the environmental parameters in the water column, a Niskin bottle for water samples, and a bongo net for plankton
samples on a limited number of stations.
The monitoring program of ILVO has changed substantially (mainly in spring campaign) according to the previous
years. The few Van Veen macrobenthos samples will be sieved alive on board, partly on a 1�mm and some extra on a
0.5�mm sieve. For most projects the Van Veen grabs must be taken as exactly as possible (<�30�m), certainly when
4 or more samples are taken at 1 sampling point.
The beam trawl samples in the new BACI design have been halved in time and length (to be more representative for
the impacted zones), which means a ‘short’ track of 15 minutes at approx. 4 knots with the currents. The fish tracks on
the Transas system are 1�NMiles long. To have enough time to release the net and the beam trawl, the ship must be
placed in the direction of the track already 0.5 mile before the real starting point in agreement with the skipper. The
exact positions of all samples are given on the Transas layer.
For the windmill project also a number of plankton (fish larvae) samples will be taken with a bongo net. Therefore
oblique hauls from bottom to top are taken, which means: lowering the net to the bottom and dependent on the
currents, slowly moving while hauling the net to the sea surface. These samples are located at least 250�m from the
piles as agreed upon with the concession holders. Also secchi disk measures are needed at these points and CTD
profiles on the 2 top‐locations.
Within this campaign also fish samples for SCK‐CEN:LS and life fish and invertebrates for KMDA:PJ are taken. For the
collection of live material, a number of aquaria are taken along..
It will be aimed at having the least amount of transit time between the sampling locations of the different programs,
although the whole planning will depend on the weather forecast.
For ILVO:KH the following samples must be completed as best as possible:
1. Windmill project locations on Thorntonbank, Blighbank and Lodewijckbank 2. Dredge dumping sites (S1, Zeebrugge Oost, Oostende, S2 and Nieuwpoort) 3. Sand extraction zones on the Kwintebank, Buitenratel, Oostdyck, Thorntonbank,
Hinderbanken 4. Long‐term monitoring points and other reference points
CSS:KD The program of CSS:KD is normally carried out between sunset and sunrise, including some transit time after the day program of ILVO:KH.

DGMR:ML
To increase operational efficiency areas are chosen with the least transit time to start up registrations. If problems
occur with multi‐beam (MB) of MWDC component, or sea state does not permit to use the pole on which the MB is
attached, MB of RV Belgica will be used.
