Today, 18 Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students from the Wadden Sea countries and abroad started a ten-day summer school.

The East Atlantic Flyway Youth Forum is establishing itself as an annual activity to connect young conservationists and activists from along the flyway.

The Wadden Sea has significant potential for carbon sequestration, yet the precise contribution of specific habitats to greenhouse gas reduction has not been quantified on a trilateral scale.

“Overcoming borders, discovering new horizons” was the title of this year's annual conference of the German and Swiss World Heritage Associations and the German and Swiss UNESCO Commissions.

How does preserving the Outstanding Universal Value of the Wadden Sea contribute to the greenhouse gas reduction targets of the European Union?

The Netherlands and Germany have invested 15 million euros in five research projects that will study the relation between sediment, ecology, human co-use, flood safety and effective protection and management in the Wadden Sea.

The educational programme offers an in-depth exploration of ecology, nature conservation, sustainable development, and management, specifically centered around the unique ecological context of the Wadden Sea.
