Abstract
The landlocked creek area is situated in the northern part of East Flanders (Belgium), in a territory which is limited in the North, the East and the West by the Belgian-Dutch border and in the South by the limit Polders-Flemish sandy region, i.e. approximately the line Sint-Laureins—Boekhoute— Assenede—Sas-van-Gent. Two concentrations of landlocked creeks occur in this area. The first group is situated in its eastern part, on the territory of the municipalities of Assenede and Boekhoute, with Lambert-coordinates 105 (W), 110(E), 219 (N) and 214 (S) on survey-maps 14/1–2 and 6/5–6 of Belgium (Fig. 1). We studied five creeks in this area:
-
Grote Geule (1)
-
Rode Geule (2, 3, 4)
-
Grote Kil (16)
-
Klein Geulken (17)
-
Kapellenpolderkreek (5).
