How can the Netherlands stay dry as the climate changes and sea levels rise? Bas Borsje explores how we can protect ourselves from the sea by natural means. He studies ecosystems that slow down waves and that grow along with rising sea levels, such as marshes and mangrove forests. These ecosystems lie outside the dykes and can be deployed all over the world. His pioneering research is at the interface between hydraulic engineering and ecology. He is convinced that we should embrace nature instead of fighting against the water.
