Instawalk & talk Vlissingen: Tij en turbine

Your Lens, Your Story
Do you love photography or are you a content creator with an eye for technology, nature, or sustainable energy? Join the Instawalk on June 4 from 11:00 to 12:00 at the tidal turbine by Water2Energy in Vlissingen. Engineer Reinier Rijke will give you a unique look at this innovative installation between the sea and the canal. Feel free to explore and capture the surroundings before or after the tour.

Working Together for Sustainable Energy from the Sea

The Community of Practice North Sea, in collaboration with the Delta Climate Center, is organizing a full day focused on innovative solutions for sustainable energy in the coastal region. As part of the program, Offshore For Sure hosts this Instawalk.

Registration and Contact
If you do not want to register for the CoP Day but have questions about the Instawalk, you can contact us directly using this Instawalk form. There are only a limited number of individual spots available. Priority will be given to those already participating in the CoP Day

🌿 Ecology – Focus your lens on coastal life and protection: like the barriers that keep seals and porpoises out, the tides or the birds living around the turbine.
⚙️ Innovation & Technology – Capture the turbine or its components up close, and showcase the smart engineering that makes renewable energy possible.
⚡ Energy – Visualize the power of the tides and how the surrounding environment benefits from this clean energy source.
👷 The Human Factor – Photograph people at work - like Reinier - in their work gear as a symbol of the knowledge and dedication behind the technology. Show how human expertise tailors innovation to meet our needs in the offshore energy transition.

During and after the Instawalk, we encourage you to share your photos and videos on Instagram or other social media platforms using these hashtags:

The turbine is fish-friendly. Its blades are spaced far apart and rotate slowly, allowing fish to swim through. Safety grilles on both sides prevent seals or porpoises from entering.

Stories of Sustainable Energy – Through Your Lens

We can’t wait to see the visual stories you create from your unique perspectives. We’ll also share selected content through our channels for maximum exposure. You can win a prize for your unique photo!

Why Instawalks?

Offshore projects often remain literally beneath the surface or out of sight. With Instawalks, we bring people closer – both physically and through visual storytelling. It’s how we showcase our projects, share knowledge, and build support for sustainable initiatives at sea or in the water.

🎯 Purpose: Raise awareness & make projects visible – aligning with Offshore For Sure goals: public engagement, education, and sustainability.

Offshore For Sure

Water2Energy is one of fifteen Dutch and Flemish partners collaborating in the Offshore For Sure project. Together, they are testing five promising energy solutions and working toward a future-proof energy system for the North Sea.
