Under pressure of the triple planetary crisis and human activites, the Wadden Sea needs adequate protection and preservation to maintain its Outstanding Universal Value.

UNESCO has developed a new standardized eDNA sampling method to map ocean life.

Under the umbrella of the Wadden Sea Flyway Initiative (WSFI), the governments of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark joined forces to improve the monitoring of migratory waterbirds along the East Atlantic Flyway.

On 11 to 13 November, over 30 educators from visitor centres from all corners of the Wadden Sea region gathered on the Dutch Island of Ameland for the annual meeting of the International Wadden Sea School (IWSS).

On 5-7 November, the DARKER SKY project team held its third meeting in Lower Saxony.

Held virtually on 14-15 September 2024, the East Atlantic Flyway Youth Forum brought together young conservationists aged 18-30 from across the flyway to explore opportunities and challenges that citizen science projects face.

As part of Europe's green energy transition, the development of offshore wind farms in the North Sea is set to play a critical role, with significant implications for the Wadden Sea region.
