The present report is a first step towards a conceptual model for mud dynamics in the Wadden Sea. The conceptual analysis is based for an important part on a new analysis of suspended and bed sediment data as presented below and in the accompanying data analysis reports (De Vries, Dankers and Vroom, 2018) and Cleveringa (2018). However, also previous data analyses and model exercises have been taken into account. They are not discussed extensively in this report, but an overview of some recent examples of these studies has been presented in the previous memo.The conceptual model resulting from this conceptual analysis is not at all meant as final, but rather as a vehicle for further discussion and development to gradually reach more focus and identify and clearly explain the best mud management strategies.
