Wadden Sea, Unesco World Heritage, Discover it!
The Wadden Sea is the world's largest continuous system of sand and mud flats that dry out during low tide. The Wadden Sea is not a very deep water area with a relatively flat coast. The habitat has tidal channels, seagrass meadows, mussel beds, sandbanks, tidal flats, salt marshes, beaches and dunes. A large number of plant and animal species are found, including marine mammals such as the common seal, the gray seal and the porpoise. It is also the breeding ground and the wintering area for 10 to 12 million birds per year. The area is one of the last remaining large-scale low tide ecosystems where natural processes continue to function.
