Réserve naturelle nationale du Platier d'Oye, National nature reserve in Oye-Plage, France

The Platier d'Oye reserve spans 391 hectares of protected land featuring sand dunes, salt marshes, and wetlands along the French North Sea coast.

The French government established the Platier d'Oye National Nature Reserve in 1987 to safeguard the vital migration corridor for northern European birds.

Local conservationists maintain detailed records of migratory patterns and conduct regular monitoring sessions to document the diverse bird populations throughout seasons.

Three marked trails traverse the reserve, including a 3.6-kilometer Polder West path with a 1.5-kilometer section adapted for wheelchair accessibility.

The reserve functions as the initial feeding zone on the English Channel-North Sea coast for migratory birds traveling between northern Europe and southern regions.
