The Zeeschelde is a part of the Scheldt River, and is of great ecological importance. It is home to numerous water birds and the river is considered a nursery for marine fish. Many young fish use the Zeeschelde as a resting place, only to swim back out to sea a few months later.[1] Sections of the river are under European protection as part of Natura 2000 "Scheldt and Durme estuary from the Dutch border to Ghent" (BE2300006).
