Zones closed to mining (FPS Economy, Belgian part of North Sea, 2023) (geslotenzone_zgr)
The maximum extraction depth for the exploration of sand and gravel in the Belgian sea areas was established by Ministerial Decree on 28 September 2020. On the basis of this new reference level, subzones within the control zones are delineated where this level has globally been reached or exceeded. These will be closed for exploitation as of 1 January 2023. Each year, these zones will be re-evaluated and, if necessary, adjusted. The area THBREF has been closed for exploitation since 1 October 2010 and serves as a reference area for biological monitoring. Sectors 3a and 3b are alternately open for exploitation. Currently, sector 3b is used as an unloading quay. This will remain the case until the area has become too shallow for dredgers who are used for maintenance dredging or until another economic or ecological criterion encourages the government to relocate this quay.

Underprivileged neighbourhoods (West Flanders, 2017) (kansarmebuurten)
The geographical level, at which the work is carried out, are the statistical sectors as defined by the former National Institute of Statistics. For convenience, these are called "neighbourhoods". For each neighbourhood, a score was calculated for each dimension (demography, housing, education and unemployment). These dimension scores are than used to carry out a analysis of the socio-economic deprivation. Analogously with the socio-economic deprivation atlas of Kesteloot, a threshold value of 15% was used. In concrete terms: for each dimension of socio-economic deprivation (demography, housing, education and job-seekers), the 1,297 neighbourhoods are ranked from high to low. For this purpose, the dimension scores were used. The threshold value for each dimension is thus obtained by taking the value at which 15% of all neighbourhoods have a higher value than this threshold value. In order to determine whether or not a neighbourhood can be described as vulnerable, we state that all neighbourhoods that have exceeded the threshold values on 3 or 4 of the dimensions can be considered potentially disadvantaged.

Prosperity index (Belgian coastal area, 2015) (welvaartsindex_36)
This index compares the average tax income per inhabitant of a given administrative unit (e.g. municipality) with the average income per inhabitant in Belgium. For Belgium, this index is assimilated to 100 (Source: Federal Public Service Economy, SMEs, the Self-employed and Energy). If the prosperity index of a given administrative unit exceeds 100, this means that the average income of its inhabitants is higher than the national average income.

Wier en Wind mariculture project (Belgian part of North Sea, 2019-2022) (wierenwind)
In this project, companies Seaweed Harvest Nordsea, AtSeaNova, Murre Technologies and GEOxyz want to significantly increase the production of seaweed. The seaweed collective Stichting Noordzeeboerderij and knowledge institutions Ugent and HZ University of Applied Science will support them in this. The partners will jointly develop a large-scale and automated seaweed cultivation system that is reliable at sea and that can be deployed within the many wind farms in the North Sea. The project thus contributes to the multiple use of space of the wind farms.
