Abstract
For the Delta Program the greatest challenge is to deal with uncertainties and complexities working on adaptation strategies. This challenge led to the development of the Adaptive Delta Management concept, meant to improve adaptive capacity and the ability to cope with these factors. The implementation of this concept takes place in a number of regional sub-programs, of which a closer look is taken at the Wadden region that has to deal with specific long-term water safety tasks, ecological interests and fragmented decision making. Attention is paid to the dilemmas this sub-program encounters in setting up regional strategies. It turns out the sub-program has trouble linking up with regional ambitions, setting up adaptive governance structures and creating coherence within the program, all the result of prevailing traditional regimes that hamper the introduction of adaptiveness. This research shows Adaptive Delta Management requires serious contemplation to increase its applicability in various regional contexts.
