Langzaam herstel van de kokkelpopulaties vóór de Belgische kust?

After the summer and during the winter of 1988 millions of young cockles Cerastoderma edule were found washed up on the Belgian beaches. This species, once a common appearance now knew difficult times, and in some years even became quite rare. During 1998 Cerastoderma edule became rather common again. There were 2 spatfalls, one in early summer and one in the last half of August.
