Fig. 1

SIBES design with sampling stations and workflow of data collection and processing. The map of the sampling stations shows all stations that have been sampled at least once, with grid (in blue) and random sampling stations (in yellow). The inset shows a map of the detailed design. Tidal basins are separated with black lines. The workflow shows collecting samples in the field, processing them in the laboratory, and curating the data afterwards. Photos from left to right: sampling sediment cores from the boat, sampling by foot, sieved sample, jars with collected samples, and processed samples in crucibles ready for biomass and shell weight measurements in the laboratory. Photos taken by Fred Wiering (left photo) and Kees van de Veen.
