Around 40 years ago the area of the Rammegors (142 ha) was still connected with the Eastern Scheldt (Figure 2). The area was part of a dynamic tidal system consisting of deep channels, tidal flats and salt marshes. The construction of the Schelde-Rijndijk and the Krabbenkreekdam marked the end of this tidal system and the Rammegors turned into a brackish- and freshwater natural area. In the end of 2014 the Rammegors was again connected to the Eastern Scheldt with the construction of three culverts (width: 3.5 m; length: 60 m), through the Krabbekreekdam, to generate a reduced tide that allows the development of typical salt marsh vegetation. The culverts will be closed when the water level at the Eastern Scheldt side is around 1.65 m NAP. At the Rammegors side, a dam (was constructed to limit the water outflow of the area and ensure a shallow water area in the Rammegors of about 14 ha.
