Nationalpark Wattenmeer

With almost 9000 km², the Wadden Sea covers the entire German North Sea coast and is under special protection with the three national parks Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and Hamburg Wadden Sea. It is the largest contiguous stretch of coastline in the world that is under the strong influence of the tides and is regularly drained to the bottom and flooded again. In its uniqueness, the phenomenon has been recognized as a UNSECO World Natural Heritage Site and provides special protection for the sensitive habitat of numerous rare plant and animal species.
In order to protect not only the priority of nature conservation but also the interests of use in the popular vacation and recreation area, the national park is divided into several zones of different protection categories. While nature can develop undisturbed in so-called use-free zones, nature-compatible use by humans is possible in the other areas. This is subject to certain basic rules such as the observance of specially protected areas, the keeping of dogs on leashes, the prohibition of stunt kites and the unconditional cleanliness and waste disposal.
A variety of information centers impart important knowledge about the sensitive ecosystem and create awareness about the need for protection of the region. For example, the Multimar Wattforum in Tönning on Eiderstedt, the largest visitor center of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park, provides information about the mudflats, the North Sea and the salt marshes as a habitat in an interactive exhibition and several aquariums, follows the tracks of tiny mudflat inhabitants and tells exciting stories about the World Heritage Site.
