The Marine Biology Section of the Department of Biology of the Ghent
University has been involved in ecological and systematic research of
marine ecosystems from 1970 onwards. The research started with the
investigation of North Sea benthic communities, with special focus on
the macro- and meiobenthos. From 1980 onwards, research was expanded
to include the hyperbenthic and epibenthic compartments. Research on
all benthic comparments is still going on in the North Sea and
adjacent estuaries (DWTC, FWO, IWT and RUG- programmes).
