Replace buoys and floats by steel poles in mussel larvae collector installations

In the dutch Wadden Sea and Oosterscheldt, the MZI’s hardly ever lose a float or buoy anymore since the use of big steel poles were introduced. These metal poles are positioned a few meters under the seabed for the attachment of the horizontal lines. Over the years, the installations have been developed in such a way that they have become increasingly robust.
