In 1928, the contracting firm of Julien and Jerome Soetaert started on the right bank of the Yser, halfway between Nieuwpoort-Stad and the salt marsh area, with the construction of a second post-war oyster farm in Nieuwpoort. The complex consisted of a large bowl-shaped basin for oyster, lobster and mussel cultivation and an adjoining house. The construction was started by one Albert Horen from Lyon and one Edgard Dentand, but the nursery soon came into the hands of Adelson Fagnard. This Brussels resident, together with his sons Robert and Paul, also owned the villa “Les Vanneaux” on the Zeedijk in Nieuwpoort-Bad. However, the well and the adjacent building have been preserved. Over the years, a biological laboratory of the University of Ghent and a nature relief center for sick and injured seabirds were installed here. With the establishment of the state nature reserve “De IJzermonding” in Nieuwpoort-Lombardsijde, the last remnants of the nursery eventually disappeared. The building was demolished in 2005 and the associated well was converted into a nature-educational tidal pool.
