Oosterschelde National Park, Protected marine national park in Zeeland, Netherlands.
The Oosterschelde National Park spans 37,000 hectares of tidal waters, mudflats, and sandbanks where marine life flourishes in the dynamic North Sea environment.
The establishment of Oosterschelde National Park in 2002 marked a significant step in preserving the natural coastal systems following the Delta Works engineering project.
The park offers educational programs about water management, coastal protection, and marine ecology through guided tours and information centers at Neeltje Jans islet.
Visitors can access multiple observation points, walking trails, and bird watching stations throughout the park, with the main entrance located near Zierikzee.
The park contains a storm surge barrier that allows 800 billion liters of saltwater to flow in and out twice daily, creating distinct habitats for seals and water birds.
