Were doing research there studying the climate. Belgium is responsable for controlling the quality off the north sea. We have a ship with many equipment, like a small laboratory (Belgica). It's not new Belgium and the Netherlands are known for our oceanic research. And also for building dams and dikes. The New orleans dam project is with a Dutch-Belgian company. We were 1 off the first countries facing those problems because were low lying countries.
