| Abstract |
| The goal of this research project is to evaluate what the effect is of proximity to the sea on human health and wellbeing based on a meta analysis of health surveys. This research question fits under the theme 'The Ocean and Human Health'. To answer this research question we collaborate with prof. dr. Stefaan De Henauw of the department of public health and prof. dr Henk Roose of the Sociology department (both UGent) and with the OD Public Health. |
