As part of the Dutch Monitoring-Onderzoek-Natuurversterking-Soortbescherming (MONS, Monitoring-Research-Nature Enhancement-Species Protection) program, we investigated the temporal dynamics of zooplankton at the Marsdiep from the NIOZ jetty for a period of 13 months (November 2023 – November 2024). High tide sampling at the Marsdiep is representative of the coastal North Sea and is subjected to variable salinity regimes. This ‘ecotype’ is a rarely sampled OSPAR region and the proximity to the NIOZ institute allows for high temporal resolution sampling.
