en Shallows
Wadden Sea
tidal flat
The Shallows stretch from Den Helder in the Netherlands (Dutch Shallows) in the southwest, past the river estuaries of Germany (German Shallows) to its northern boundary at Esbjerg in Denmark, having a total length of about 500 km and a total area of about 10,000 km².
It is characterized by extensive tidal mud flats, deeper tidal trenches and the islands. In this region, continually contested by land and sea, the landscape was formedlargely by storm tides.
The Wadden Sea is famous for its rich fauna, avifauna and flora. Today, a large part of the Wadden Sea is protected due to the cooperation of all three countries; see Wadden Sea National Parks for the protected areas within the German borders.
