Life in Ebb and Flow

The Wadden Sea is a dynamic environment with huge changing tides – the largest coastal wetland in Europe. The animals and plants that live here – in the water, on the seabed or on land – have adapted remarkable strategies to survive in such a variable environment. The natural world of which they are a part has evolved a finely-tuned balancing act. However, the encroachment of man is putting new pressures on it.
