Haringvliet, Nature reserve and Ramsar site in South Holland, Netherlands
The Haringvliet estuary spans 10,880 hectares, connecting to Hollands Diep and forming a section of the Rhine-Meuse delta in the Netherlands.
The construction of Haringvliet locks in 1970 transformed the water conditions from brackish to fresh, marking a substantial change in the local ecosystem.
The region maintains traditional activities such as commercial fishing, reed cutting, and agriculture while supporting international conservation obligations.
A visitor information center on Tiengemeten Island provides educational resources about the wetland ecosystem and local wildlife species.
The site houses more than 20,000 water birds, including the Eurasian Spoonbill and Sandwich Tern, while functioning as a nursery for numerous fish species.
