Wadden Sea, Shallow sea between North Sea and mainland of Netherlands, Germany
The Wadden Sea spans 450 kilometers along the coast, characterized by extensive tidal flats, channels, and sandy areas exposed during low tide.
Since 1978, the governments of Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark have collaborated to establish protection measures for the Wadden Sea's preservation.
Local residents perform traditional methods of gathering seafood and cultivating marine resources in designated areas of the Wadden Sea.
Visitors can explore the seabed through guided walks during low tide periods, which occur twice daily according to specific timetables.
The Wadden Sea serves as a critical stopover for over two million migratory birds annually, supporting numerous water bird species.
