The Wadden Sea (Vadehavet in
Danish, Waddenzee in
Dutch, Waadsee in
Frisian, Wattensee in
Low German, Wattenmeer in
German) is the name for a body of water and its associated coastal
wetlands lying between a section of the coast of northwestern continental
Europe and the
North Sea. The Wadden Sea stretches from
Den Helder in the
Netherlands in the southwest, past the river estuaries of
Germany to its northern boundary at Skallingen north of
Esbjerg in
Denmark along a total length of some 500 km and a total area of about 10,000 km².It is typified by extensive tidal
mud flats, deeper tidal trenches and the
islands that are contained within this, a region continually contested by land and sea. The landscape had been formed for a great part by
storm tides.
