            Tiengemeten, restoration of freshwater tidal area in the Haringvliet estuary, the Netherlands (10GEMETEN). Objective Tiengemeten is an island in the Haringvliet estuary in the Dutch Rhine-Maas Delta. As a result of the closure of the Haringvliet (NL) in 1970, the tidal rise and fall in the estuary is now severely limited, with serious consequences for the composition of vegetation and fauna in the Haringvliet. The surface area of the intertidal area with a daily ebb and flood has been greatly reduced, with a consequent sharp decline in the ecological features of the Haringvliet.

Since 1990, the restoration of the freshwater tidal area and the associated habitat types and target species has become an important goal of nature restoration and development in the estuary of the Rhine-Maas Delta.

With an area of 700 hectares, Tiengemeten is the most sizeable restoration project in the estuary. Tiengemeten has been designated as a Nature 2000 area and comes within the scope of both the Habitat Directive and the Bird Directive.
The island consisted of 700 hectares of agricultural land and some 300 hectares of reed and shrub vegetation. The present island nature reserve of Tiengemeten is subdivided into three spheres: Wistfulness (Weemoed), Wealth (Weelde) and Wilderness (Wildernis).
