Abstract

Monitoring of the environmental effects of a harbour extension and the compensation measures is a very complex task. The Voordelta area has high natural values, but is also of high economic importance. To implement a monitoring strategy for this area a multidisciplinary consortium has been formed, consisting of a number of institutes and companies. A central data management facility was set up for data storage and management. This chapter illustrates the data management approach using the Voordelta monitoring programme for the years 2004 to 2013. A central data management facility was set up for data storage and management. A repository gives access to raw data files to all team members. From the analysis of the raw data a number of information products have been developed and disseminated to the authorities and the public through Google Earth. It will be shown, that the presence of a strong multidisciplinary team and good collaboration is the key to success in this complex programme. The way the data have been managed supports this process enormously.
