In eco-engineering projects we let nature contribute to flood protection. We use the services that ecosystems
provide to achieve this, such as plants that dissipate wave energy and oysters that stabilize sediment. We thus
create more natural flood defences that meet the strict demands of flood protection in what one might call a
soft intervention with a solid impact.. This short book presents eleven examples of eco-engineering concepts in action.
