The Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park is the largest national park between the North Cape and Sicily. It is home to more than 10,000 different species and offers protection for numerous native seabirds that use the extensive salt marshes as breeding grounds. Nowhere else in the world has a more diverse landscape developed through the influence of the tides. Despite its designation as a national park and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Wadden Sea is exposed to numerous threats. Above all, overuse and the consequences of global warming are damaging many animal and plant species and leading to drastic changes within ecosystems.
The work “Wadden Sea” shows the people who research these changes and are committed to preserving the unique flora and fauna in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park.
