Breebaart, Tidal polder in Eemsdelta, Netherlands.
Breebaart is a tidal polder located in Eemsdelta, Netherlands. The area features interconnected waterways that link tidal zones to freshwater basins, creating conditions for natural sediment movement across the wetland.
The site began its transformation into a tidal polder system in 2001, marking a shift toward natural management. Major renovation work from 2018 to 2020 further reshaped the landscape and restored wetland conditions.
Local farming practices shape the area, with cattle grazing helping to manage vegetation growth across the salt marshes. This approach keeps the landscape open and supports the ecosystem that birds and seals depend on.
Visitors can explore the site using designated walking paths that offer good views for bird and seal watching. An observation center provides information about the area and operates on selected days throughout the week.
The site holds Europe's largest breeding population of avocets, birds that thrive on the ragworms found in the brackish waters. These graceful waders are so abundant here that they have become a defining feature of the location.
