Lower Saxon Wadden Sea National Park

Lower Saxon Wadden Sea National Park protects one of Europe's most distinctive and ecologically significant coastal landscapes along the German North Sea coast. Established in 1986, the park encompasses the East Frisian Islands, vast intertidal mudflats, and expansive salt marshes stretching from the Dollart Bay at the Dutch border westward to Cuxhaven and the Outer Elbe shipping channel. The park covers approximately 345,800 hectares, making it one of Germany's largest protected coastal areas. In 2009, the Wadden Sea became a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized alongside the Dutch and Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea for its outstanding universal value as a unique intertidal ecosystem. The Wadden Sea itself is considered the second most productive ecosystem on Earth after tropical rainforests, supporting an extraordinary density of marine life and serving as a critical migratory bird corridor for millions of waterfowl and waders traveling between northern breeding grounds and southern wintering areas.
