The objective of my thesis is to make a forecast of the evolution of the ecosystem services of the Sand Motor. By means of a 38 year Delft3D forecast I predict the impact of the Sand Motor on coastal safety, the recreational potential and the ecotope development at the Delfland coast. These result will be compared to two nourishment alternatives to see which design gives the best result for a specific ecosystem service.
